Organic and Fair Trade Chocolate from Ecuador

Ecuador is a country in South America, bordering Peru to the south and east and Colombia to the north-east, with the Pacific Ocean to the west. This is the only country where the ‘Cacao Nacional’ variety grows, a grand cru cocoa known worldwide for its floral and fruity flavours. This traditional variety offers subtle aromas of citrus and dried fruit, with lovely floral notes suggesting rose or jasmine.

Cacao Nacional, with its delicate, fine flavour, is used to make chocolates with intense aromas. When savoured, the powerful flavour of the chocolate gradually reveals itself. The most sensitive palates will recognise the fruity and floral aromas typical of pure chocolate from Ecuador.

At Kaoka, we don’t standardise the taste of our chocolates. The flavours of the chocolate bars can be different depending on the harvest, the season, etc. So, depending on how they are made, you may be able to taste, to a greater or lesser degree, the subtle aromas of citrus, fresh fruit and dried fruit, as well as the beautiful floral notes (jasmine-rose) that are characteristic of Ecuadorian chocolates.

The taste of chocolate is composed of 3 different notes that follow one another. The top note comes first, followed by the less lively but warmer heart note. Finally, the base note appears at the end of the taste.

Kaoka – Dark Chocolate 90% Ecuador:
For this bar, we have chosen to use only cocoa paste, with no added cocoa butter, to bring you the exceptional flavour of Ecuadorian cocoa. This 90% cocoa dark chocolate is surprisingly richly aromatic, with a powerful cocoa flavour, gourmet dried fruit aromas and beautiful floral notes.

Kaoka – Dark Chocolate 80% Ecuador:
One of our historic chocolate bars (and the favourite of Kaoka’s founder!). We’ve also selected a pure cocoa paste (but slightly sweeter than the 90% dark bar). This 80% cocoa dark chocolate has an intense cocoa flavour and subtle aromas of citrus, fresh and dried fruit, and of course beautiful floral notes.

Kaoka – Milk Chocolate 40% Ecuador – 100g:
This bar is the symbol of tenderness. We’ve selected a pure cocoa mass from Ecuador for an ultra-melting, well-balanced taste experience: intense cocoa, just the right amount of sweetness for a real tasting moment.

Kaoka – Coconut Milk Chocolate – 100g:
This milk chocolate with coconut chips is a real dessert. It will particularly appeal to coconut fans.

Kaoka – Milk Chocolate with Whole Hazelnuts – 100g:
The bar that makes us fall in love, the melting milk chocolate and the crunch of whole hazelnuts (fair trade!) form a perfect harmony.

Kaoka – Milk chocolate with whole almonds, caramel pieces and fleur de sel – 180g:
This chocolate bar is terribly tasty, a bite of the melting milk chocolate reveals crunchy roasted almonds and fine caramel chips, and the hint of fleur de sel enhances the whole.

The natural aromatic richness of Ecuadorian cocoa makes it a highly recommended chocolate for pastry-making. It adds intensity and an inimitable chocolate flavour to your desserts.
