73% Dark Chocolate with Mezcal Joven - Cuna de Piedra

The 73% dark chocolate with Cuna de Piedra joven mezcal combines cacao from Soconusco, Chiapas with a young, unaged mezcal made from Espadín agave. Made in Monterrey, Mexico, this bar brings together the deep notes of cacao and the aromatic freshness of a traditional Oaxacan spirit.

The mezcal comes from Santiago Matatlán in the central valleys of Oaxaca. The agaves are crushed using a traditional stone mill called a tahona, then the juice is fermented in oak vats and distilled twice in clay stills. The mezcal is added to the chocolate during the final stages of refining to preserve its citrus and herbal notes.

On the palate, the notes of agave, citrus, and subtle herbal smoke balance the earthy character of the cacao, with a smooth, velvety texture. Enjoy at room temperature, on its own or paired with an artisanal mezcal, a blanco tequila, or a citrusy IPA.

Available in 35 g and 60 g sizes, this bar is a non-alcoholic finished product, according to the manufacturer, despite the use of mezcal in its preparation.
