Salapi - 70% - Harvest 2025
On the box, Salapi specifies the origin of the 2025 harvest: 56% from Los Rios, 44% from the Galapagos.
Rights - Chocolate with a Purpose - 70% Aji
Rights is the brand whose mission (and marketing strategy) is to employ people with disabilities. Since my last experiences with this brand, the box design has evolved: from festive colors to a more refined image.
Kallari - Sacha - 71% Hampik Ushay with Ginger
Kallari’s cacao is, as always, very gentle. Here it is accompanied by candied ginger pieces and ginger essence present in the chocolate itself. The result is a calm, composed chocolate that doesn’t aim to overwhelm with intense or singular flavors. It is rather a small, fragrant, and pleasant sweetness.
Muyus - Otavalo - 60% Passion Fruit
In Otavalo, north of Quito, the Muyus café sells coffee and chocolate. They produce their own bars, though the small print reveals the bar was made by Huma — a collaboration.
Lua - 85% Ancestral Ecuadorian Cocoa
Another chocolate from Lua, all in little touches, as if painted by a pointillist artist. Very gentle — give it time to reveal itself, and the delicate flavor touches emerge one by one.
