Reserva Zorzal | Dominican Republic
85% Single-Origin Bar
Our single-origin chocolate bars are crafted using cocoa beans harvested from one specific region, country, or even a single farm. We don’t blend our beans from various countries to create a uniform flavor. Single-origin chocolate celebrates the unique “terroir” of its specific home. Just like fine wine or specialty coffee, the soil, climate, and local farming traditions shape the natural flavor of the bean. When you eat a single-origin bar, you are tasting the distinct, unblended essence of a single place on Earth.
Grown in the high-mountain rainforests of the Dominican Republic, these organic beans come from a private reserve dedicated to protecting the endangered Bicknell’s Thrush bird. By dedicating 70% of their land to wild conservation, Reserva Zorzal seamlessly blends rainforest preservation with world-class agroforestry. Their meticulous, centralized fermentation results in a remarkably consistent bean that delivers a sophisticated balance

These beans deliver a sophisticated, balanced profile of deep caramel and toasted walnut, cut with a vibrant tart cherry acidity.
