Fazenda Camboa, in the Bahia region of Brazil, was founded in 1942 by the Carvalho family. What started as a small family farm quickly grew to be one of the most important estates in the area. Sadly, the farm almost closed in the 90’s as they suffered through years of a cacao disease called “Witches Broom” which destroyed nearly 96% of the farms annual output. Despite the hardship the Carvalho family, using their tremendous amount of experience, has battled back by, and little by little has rebuilt volume and greatly improved quality. Now, building on a solid foundation, they have grown to become the largest organic producer of cacao in the region. We are pleased to be one of the few American chocolate makers to be using this cacao.We feel like the rich history shines through in a very unique and highly enjoyable chocolate.

Dick Taylor Chocolate Is Such a Treat!
I absolutely love Dick Taylor chocolates. This Brazil bar is really special. I always appreciate the melt-in-your-mouth consistency, subtle flavors (tasting notes of honeysuckle, walnut, and grape in this one), and deep chocolate flavor. It may taste a little bitter at first if you’re not familiar with dark chocolate, or eat a lot of foods high in sugar, but this bar really grows on you if you are open to it.

YUCK
This is the worst chocolate I have ever tasted, and to spend $10 on a 2 ounce bar...Yuck. To make it even worse, the bar was old with white chalky spots all over it. I wouldn't recommend this to my worst enemy. I consider this purchase as a total waste of my $10 !!
