Black Jaguar Wild Harvested Huckleberries & Black Raspberry 85%

Cocoa Origin: Mexico
Producer Country: Canada
Weight: 75 g

From the Río Mazapa valley in Tabasco—once a heartland of Maya cacao cultivation and center of ancient cocoa trade networks—comes this bar made with beans from Hacienda Jesús María, a multi-generational, family-run estate growing organic cacao as part of a wider agroforestry system. Quality in equals quality out: the bar is layered and serious. It opens with a wall of roasty, bitter-edged cocoa—think slightly burnt dark fudge scraped from the corner of the pan. Then, quietly, the fruit arrives: wild huckleberries and black raspberries foraged on Vancouver Island. These aren’t supermarket berries—their flavour is leaner, subtler, and more tart. Not a trace of jammy sweetness, just sharp contrast and beautiful tension. The fruit deepens the chocolate rather than distracting from it.

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.
