Origin & Craftsmanship
This bar is crafted by Feliu Chocolate in Guadalajara, Mexico, using fine-flavour cacao from the Soconusco region of Chiapas — one of Mexico’s most revered cacao-growing areas. Feliu’s bean-to-bar approach emphasizes careful fermentation, roasting, and conching to preserve the subtle aromatics of the bean and showcase true terroir. The Soconusco terroir is known for its rich history and balanced cacao character.

Flavor Profile
At 71% cacao, this bar delivers a layered palette: deep roasted cocoa with elegant red fruit and plum notes, a hint of brown sugar warmth, and a smooth, lingering finish. Its complexity is balanced — bold enough for dark-chocolate lovers, yet refined and approachable for those who enjoy nuanced flavour progression.

Tasting & Pairing Guide

Allow a square to gently melt on your tongue so the cocoa richness opens first, then let the fruit-forward top notes emerge and evolve into a soft caramel warmth.
Pair with a medium-bodied red wine like a Merlot or Rioja to mirror the fruit and cocoa interplay. For a non-alcoholic match, choose a robust espresso or a floral oolong tea to highlight the bar’s rich and aromatic qualities. To add texture and nuance, enjoy alongside roasted hazelnuts or toasted pecan clusters — their nutty character complements the chocolate’s depth beautifully.

Summary

The Soconusco 71% bar from Feliu Chocolate is a refined expression of Mexican single-origin cacao — bold and layered yet smooth and balanced. With its blend of roasted cocoa, fruit hints, and artisanal care, it’s a standout choice for lovers of origin-driven dark chocolate.
