Desbarres Bean to Bar Chocolate

"At Desbarres Chocolate we artfully craft small-batch, internationally recognized, single origin chocolate from some of the world's finest cacao."

Desbarres is based in Uxbridge, Ontario and co-founded by Ariane and Erik Hansen. They relaunched their bars in early 2024 with bright new packaging and a change in size from 38g to a 60g bar. All their cacao beans are direct trade and single origin, all bars are made bean to bar and for the unflavoured bars they contain only 2 ingredients - cocoa nibs and organic cane sugar. Bars with additions are made with locally sourced ingredients. 

Raspberry Cordial 72%
For Kindred Spirits! Single origin Dominican Republic cacao infused with raspberry and fresh lemon peel for the taste of summer all year round. A multi award winning bar from the Academy of Chocolate and the International Chocolate Awards - Americas.
Black Pepper Cardamom 72%
Inspired by chai spices, the deep earthy flavour of the Tanzanian cocoa bean is spiced with black pepper and cardamom to create a multi award winning bar. 
Midnight Mocha 72%

Kilombero, Tanzania 72% 
This is one of those bars that needs to be a basic in your bean to bar chocolate cupboard! We love Tanzanian cocoa beans and what Desbarres does with them. Creamy, caramel flavour notes and a smooth slow melt that releases a light citrus taste. Multi award winning this bar is enjoyed on its own, with coffee and our favourite pairing, red wine. Multi award winning bar since 2021.
