This chocolate is pretty unique in that it’s more than just an eating experience, you become involved in your chocolate. It’s made from the Ecuadorian Arriba cacao supposedly a very superior breed. One bar of Esmeralda gets you involved in Arriba cacao conservation efforts. The local farmers are Afro-Ecuadorian. You can go to the website originalbeans.com and enter in the E-code on your bar of chocolate to see your tree. Even the packaging is made from recycled products.
