73% Dark Chocolate with Reposado Mezcal and Tabasco - Cuna de Piedra

The 73% dark chocolate with reposado mezcal from Cuna de Piedra combines cacao from a single farm in Comalcalco, Tabasco, with a mezcal made from 100% Espadín agave. Made in Monterrey, Mexico, this bar pairs the intensity of roasted cacao with the spirit’s woody notes.

The mezcal from master mezcalero Cutberto Santiago comes from Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca. The agaves are crushed using a traditional stone mill called a tahona, then the juice is fermented in oak vats, distilled twice in copper stills, and aged for two years in white oak barrels. To complement its woody aromas, Cuna de Piedra uses an extended roast specially adapted to cacao from Tabasco.

On the palate, this bar reveals deep notes of roasted cacao and smoky oak, followed by the warm sweetness of agave, with a smooth, melting texture. It pairs well with reposado mezcal, aged tequila, smoked gouda, or dark-roasted espresso.

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.
