To look at it you would think this is a 45% milk chocolate but is indeed a 65% cocoa content chocolate. The light colour comes from the lightly coloured beans creating a chocolate that is gentle yet naturally very aromatic. An incredible bean used to make a new fan favourite milk chocolate.
After years of time and effort invested, Giff Laube grows, collects, and cures incredible criollo cacao in Nicaragua. He found this rare yet beautiful cacao in backyards, on neglected cocoa tree plots, but also grows them on his orchard which grows DNA confirmed Criollo cacao trees. The trees grow less pods and produce less seeds then other varieties. Many of the seeds are light and cream coloured, and fermentation is much more tricky. However, the effort is worth it for the makers and tasters who can appreciate this delicate yet unique comforting flavour.
Made in a nut free facility, soy free, gluten free.

Ingredients & Allergens
Ingredients listed here reflect what is listed on the wrapper as stated by the manufacturer at the time of the product being listed into the Bean To Bar World online shop. I cannot guarantee any product on this website has not been in contact with (or contains traces of) any allergens including but not limited to (gluten, soy, lecithin, dairy, nuts, or any other food or non food allergens).
Shipping
Although I do my best to coordinate shipping time estimates with my shipping carriers, I can not and will not guarantee any shipment date or time. The customer will receive a tracking number after the order has shipped, and it it will be up to the customer to follow through with any shipping issues.
It is up to you to include the exact and correct shipping address including all information such as apartment number and postal code. If possible, also include buzzer code and other helpful delivery information. If a shipment was sent to an incorrect or incomplete address due to error on the customers end, I will do my best to help the customer intercept and fix the issue, but I cannot guarantee the shipment will arrive on time or arrive at all. This will depend on the carrier and how you resolve it with them. If the shipment does not arrive at all or not arrive on time the customer will not receive any refund or store credit, and it will be up to the customer to purchase the bars again if they wish.
If there was any shipping error on the part of Bean To Bar World then we will find the best way to rectify the situation, which may include a refund or store credit.
Shipping & Weather
Your order may be canceled or postponed if the shipper feels the chocolates will not arrive in optimal condition due to weather conditions such as high temperatures where the order is shipped from or shipped to. If you would like protective packaging which will better preserve your product during high temperatures (but not guarantee it), you may purchase this addition separately before checkout.
You take it upon yourself to order chocolate at your own risk. I will do my best to alert you of potential high temperatures during shipping that may melt or interfere with the quality of the chocolate. However, it’s up to you, and Bean To Bar World will not be held responsible for products that arrive out of temper, especially after an alert by Bean To Bar World.
No Refunds or Exchanges Due To Personal Preference
All chocolate products are final sale. There will be no refunds or exchanges for any chocolate or cacao product deemed unsatisfactory due to flavour, texture, or quality. Fine chocolate opens a world of flavours and textures that some may not find favorable due to personal preferences. I do my best to curate what I feel are incredible high quality bars, however, some products may be quite unique and interesting. This is part of the excitement of craft chocolate.
