We start with our Single-Origin Camino Verde 70% dark chocolate bar which offers a smooth fudgy base that delivers a deep, velvet melt. To elevate the experience, the back of each bar is meticulously sprinkled with a dual-texture topping of organic espresso powder and crunchy, estate-roasted cocoa nibs. It is a bold, energetic balance of rich cacao, sharp espresso, and raw texture.

CAMINO VERDE | ECUADOR
About Camino Verde Ecuador
The Origin
Nestled in the lush Guayas region near Guayaquil, Ecuador, Camino Verde represents the cutting edge of modern cacao production. Founded and led by microbiologist Vicente Norero, the estate operates as a centralized fermentary that bridges the gap between traditional Ecuadorian farming and advanced fermentation science. Norero’s background allows him to treat the post-harvest process like a laboratory, fine-tuning fermentation to unlock precise, consistent notes of rich fudge, toasted almond, and delicate florals.
Our Partnership
At Clear Water Cocoa Company, we value transparency and technical excellence. Sourcing these exceptional Neo-Nacional beans allows us to bring Ecuador’s heritage straight to the Chippewa Valley. Through careful small-batch roasting, we honor Camino Verde’s innovation, ensuring every bar reflects sustainability and uncompromising quality.
