Description

This is real-deal craft chocolate for your kitchen. Our culinary chocolate is single-origin, Bird Friendly® certified Dominican Republic bean-to-bar dark chocolate, made in our Bend, Oregon roastery with just two ingredients: responsibly sourced cocoa beans and organic cane sugar. We grind it untempered so it's ready to use straight from the bag, no chopping or melting fuss required.

Stir it into hot milk for a luxe single-origin drinking chocolate or a genuinely great mocha. Fold it into brownie batter, whisk it into ganache, or use it as the secret ingredient in whatever you're making next. The same bean-to-bar intention we put into every chocolate bar, now in a format built for your kitchen. At 5 pounds, this bulk size is built for the serious home cook or anyone who simply refuses to run out of great chocolate.

About Smithsonian Bird Friendly®: This bar is made using 100% Bird Friendly certified cocoa from Zorzal in the Dominican Republic. The Bird Friendly certification, developed by Smithsonian scientists, is rooted in decades of ecological research. It guarantees that certified farms are deforestation-free, certified organic, and maintain habitat for birds through either diverse shade trees or protected forest areas. When you buy Bird Friendly chocolate, you are supporting producers who are doing the hard work of conservation in the field and are also supporting the ongoing research and agricultural extension led by the Bird Friendly program. 

Cocoa beans, organic cane sugar

Seahorse Chocolate joined 1% for the Planet to back up our values with action. Through this membership, we donate one percent of our annual sales to groups working to protect biodiversity and build climate resilience in cocoa landscapes. This commitment gives us the chance to support the people and organizations doing critical on-the-ground work where cocoa is grown.
Cacao is especially well-suited to play a key role in climate and biodiversity solutions. When grown in diverse agroforestry systems, it can support healthy ecosystems, store carbon, retain water, and help protect soil, all while offering a profitable crop for smallholder farmers. These working landscapes are essential to meeting global conservation goals. Through 1% for the Planet, we’re investing in the future of cocoa and the landscapes that make great chocolate possible. We’ll be sharing more soon about the projects we support through our newsletter, so join us here for updates.

Chocolate is coming your way. See our Shipping Policy for the details.
