This single estate bar represents a slice of Dominican agricultural heritage. Established in the late 1800s by Swiss immigrants, Finca Elvesia became the largest cacao plantation in the Caribbean and even had its own railroad system for the transportation of the cacao to the port. To this day, it continues to cultivate cacao varieties that were first brought from Venezuela in the mid-1600s. Currently, the farm is organically managed by local cacao expert Ramon Lopez, with the support of his deputy Isidro Castillo and a committed team of over three dozen Dominican and Haitian workers. In addition to an already delicious chocolate, the inclusion of Brugal rum adds unmistakable tropical fruitiness on the nose, with earthy, grassy sugarcane sweetness on the palate, and pronounced flavours of baking spices and overripe stone fruits.

Jens was an industrial engineer in Germany dabbling with making his own ‘bons bons’ as a hobby when he first stumbled on single-origin craft chocolates. He was immediately captivated and determined to delve deeper into this world. So, only a few years later, he set off for the Dominican Republic, where he immersed himself with local cocoa producers to learn everything he could about growing, harvesting, fermenting, and drying cacao beans. Today, he’s producing small batches of micro-terroir chocolate, using only the finest-flavoured, organic cacao sourced from throughout the Dominican Republic. Each bar offers a taste of a different region, allowing you to traverse the country one bar at a time. He works closely in collaboration with small farmers and local businesses to not only ensure superior quality but also support local industry.

Hato Mayor is a province in the eastern part of the Dominican Republic, named after its capital city, Hato Mayor del Rey, which translates to "The King's Major Cattle Farm." This name reflects the region’s history when Spanish settlers established large cattle ranches, or "hatos," in the area. The term "hato," derived from southern Spain, refers to a large cattle farm or ranch, and Hato Mayor del Rey was specifically named in honor of King Charles I of Spain. The province, one of the last to be created in the Dominican Republic, was previously part of El Seibo. It features a tropical climate with high temperatures throughout the year, which supports the cultivation of cocoa, sugarcane, flowers, palm oil, and a variety of fruits such as bananas and pineapples.
