Poids : 75 g

Cacao has been traded through the Río Mazapa valley for millennia, back when Maya canoe traders moved goods along the waterways of what’s now Tabasco, Mexico. By comparison, the century-old Hacienda Jesús María is a relative newcomer—but one with deep roots. The family runs an organic, single-estate farm embedded in a broader agroforestry system that honours the region’s agricultural legacy. The resulting chocolate is rich, bitter-edged, and deeply fudgy—but this particular bar brings a real kick. Unlike most chili inclusions that play it safe, this one, which uses Trinidadian scorpion chilies, turns up the temperature enough to definitely be noticed. It’s not excessive—no need to panic. I have close to zero heat tolerance and can still comfortably go back for more. The heat is masterfully balanced by the chocolate’s bitter depth and mellow sweetness. A must-try for anyone who keeps a bottle of hot sauce on the table but still balanced enough for those who don’t.

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.

Comalcalco, 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.
