Dick Taylor Craft Chocolate's 72% Belize Drinking Chocolate contains just two ingredients: premium Belizean cacao and organic cane sugar, delivering a rich and intense chocolate flavor. With 72% cacao, this drink is deeply chocolatey and less sweet, perfect for those who prefer a pure chocolate experience.
Dick Taylor Craft Chocolate, based in Eureka, California, was founded by Adam Dick and Dustin Taylor in 2010. They use organic, fairly traded cacao and organic cane sugar, opting to exclude additives like vanilla and extra cocoa butter to highlight the natural flavors of the cacao.
Their factory is notable for its small batch production that emphasizes detailed craftsmanship and high-quality ingredients. Dick Taylor Craft Chocolate is well-regarded for their single-origin bars and inclusion bars, which often combine unique flavors like figs or fleur de sel.
The company is committed to direct trade practices, ensuring they source the finest ingredients while supporting sustainable farming practices. Their new factory in Old Town Eureka, located on the waterfront, marks an expansion aimed at increasing efficiency in all areas of their business, including customer tours and product storage.
