Something New: Stone Ground Chocolate Bar by Taza

Happy Valentines Day!

In the spirit of the holiday, I thought I’d share my experience with a delicious new chocolate bar made by Taza Chocolate.

I needed some dark chocolate to clean my palate after lunch last Friday, and when I went to the store, my eye was struck by a display of Stone Ground Chocolate Bars (organic, too!). Being a health counselor and generally a fan of stone ground things, I needed to try stone ground chocolate. (Also, to be honest, there was something about the size and heft of the bar that reminded me of Willy Wonka and the golden ticket.)

I loved it! The texture of it is different than the chocolate that I’m used to in that it has a texture. It was luscious and deeply satisfying. I think I may be spoiled forever now when it comes to chocolate bars.

The 80% cacao bar that I had was gluten-free, dairy-free and soy-free — a nice touch for the those of us who are intolerant among us. I also loved the fact that the cacao beans are organic and purchased directly from small, organic cooperatives who receive greater than fair-trade prices for their high quality beans.
