This bar smells incredible right out of the gate — rich butterscotch, malt, and toasted nuts, warm and deeply comforting. If you’ve ever had brunost or gjetost (that Scandinavian brown cheese), you’ll recognize the flavour immediately: milk cooked down until the sugars caramelize, turning dairy into something sweet, savoury, and gently tangy all at once. That’s exactly what’s happening here. The texture follows suit — chewy and gooey, yet still firm — with a melt that’s honestly kind of ridiculous: slow, coating, and indulgent without tipping into excess. The finish settles into a hazelnut latte note, gently roasty and quietly luxurious. One of the richest, most beautiful milk chocolates around.
The cocoa comes from Hacienda Jesús María, an organic cacao estate in the Río Mazapa region of Tabasco, where cacao has been cultivated for centuries. The family has stewarded a diverse ecological agroforest here for over a hundred years, growing cacao alongside a wide range of food crops.

Black Jaguar Brown Butter Milk 60%
Scott and Emilie are adventurers whose love for cacao took root during their travels across the cacao heartlands of Latin America. From planting cacao seedlings in the Amazon Basin of Bolivia to forging personal relationships in Nicaragua’s lush landscapes, their journey reflects a genuine connection rare amongst chocolate makers. Their work started in 2017 while filming an agroforestry documentary—a project that literally planted seeds in the area where cacao was first domesticated thousands of years ago. After years of exploration, they settled in Guatemala to work with cacao, laying the foundation for what would become Black Jaguar. Today, they craft exceptional chocolate on Vancouver Island, using beans exclusively sourced from heirloom cacao grown in La Dalia, Nicaragua, and certified by the Heirloom Cacao Preservation Fund, as well as cacao from the Bosawás Biosphere Reserve, the second largest rainforest in the Western Hemisphere and home to 13% of the world’s known plant and animal species. They also enjoy foraging on the Island, creating unique bars that weave together the flavors of cacao’s origins with the essence of their Vancouver Island home.
Achetez plus Black JaguarComalcalco, situated in the Mexican state of Tabasco along the Gulf of Mexico, derives its name from its rich agricultural heritage, translating to "in the house of the comals," with comals being pans used for food preparation. The region's fertile soil continues to support a thriving agricultural industry, with cocoa being the primary crop and accounting for 20% of Tabasco’s annual harvest. It also grows large quantities of tropical fruits, corn, beans, and vegetables cultivated, as well as some premium livestock ranching. Notably, Comalcalco is home to a significant archaeological site and the westernmost city of the Maya civilization and the one constructed with bricks rather than limestone. Now situated on an extensive alluvial plain, this area was once enveloped by low evergreen rainforest and mangrove swamps.
