Description
Outside Guayaquil, Ecuador, cacao producers are doing something genuinely exciting. Led by microbiologist Vicente Norero, the Camino Verde fermentory applies a level of scientific rigor to cacao fermentation that most producers never attempt, coaxing warm, spiced, floral character out of single-variety Nacional beans with a precision that feels more like alchemy than agriculture.
At 70%, this single-origin bean-to-bar bar opens with the comfort of cinnamon roll and almond butter before giving way to sweet florals that linger in a way that makes you want to go back for another square. Balanced and quietly complex, it's the kind of craft chocolate that earns its place in your rotation. Roasted and made from scratch in our Bend, Oregon roastery.

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.
