Chocolate de Mesa Soconusco, Chiapas (60% dark)

Drinking Chocolate – 60% MEXICAN CACAO from Soconusco, Chiapas (2 discs for 2 servings)

The Mokayas domesticated the cacao tree about 4,000 years ago in Soconusco. There’s archaeological evidence of theobromine traces found in pottery dating back to 1,900 B.C. They were the first to process chocolate in Mexico and most probably they were the ones to coin the word “kakawa” in their Mixe-Zoquean language.

We honor this millenary legacy with our reinterpretation of drinking chocolate with single-origin, fermented cacao from RAYEN, a cooperative in the Raymundo Enríquez ejido in Chiapas, composed of 28 members who own 50 hectares of orchards, where cacao is grown alongside mamey, pineapples, and mangoes, as well as tropical flora like heliconias and majestic ceiba trees.

Tasting Notes:
Low-altitude, fermented cacao. Tastes of grapefruit, hazelnut and raspberry. Cacao and prune aroma. Heavy body and creamy mouthfeel.

CUNA DE PIEDRA, Monterrey, Mexico

Made with Mexican heirloom cacao and ingredients like Slow Food Ark of Taste protected salt, a rare strain of hibiscus, and of course Mezcal, Cuna de Piedra is an homage to the land, traditions, and people of Mexico. Throughout most of history Mexico’s indigenous civilizations have shaped cacao culture. Now it is only fitting to see one of the most inspiring products on the global market arise from this Cuna de Piedra, or “cradle of stone.”

About Cuna de Piedra

  • 100% grown and made in Mexico.
  • Cuna de Piedra is a group of Mexicans who are passionate about cacao. Their mission is to raise the quality of life of everyone involved in the process, from those who grow and harvest the land, to those who consume their bars.
  • Cuna de Piedra is an homage to Mexican cacao. The undying admiration for what is their own moves them to honor and praise it in everything they do.
  • Each one of Cuna de Piedra's chocolates is a reflection of the best lesson Mother Nature has taught us: good things take time, but they are worth waiting for.
  • Cuna de Piedra deal directly with those who are in contact with the land, and they only work with those who grow, harvest and ferment in the same place, in that way they ensure that their allies get the highest pay for what their own land provides them.
  • Their dream is that this practice increases among those who harvest cacao, and that they, through Cuna de Piedra, can be able to support them so they can continue with their millenary legacy.

Cuna de Piedra is available on special-order basis: lead-time is 10 days maximum following the last day of every month.

Most ethical, most delicious

Perhaps it is because we have not been working in the chocolate business for so long (since 2014) that we work so passionately, accurately and in a personal way. In our team everyone brings his or her own expertise to the table. Organizing chocolate events, selling chocolate, writing articles, organizing tastings or master classes, judging at chocolate awards and much, much more. Our broad work and expertise leads to us always being on top of the latest trends. That is why we also know what your customers need, and how you can have a competitive advantage with the specialty chocolate that not many others sell.
