We’re always searching for special chocolate 🍫 for our ice cream that can tell a story, not just a bunch of commercial cacao thrown together and traded on Wall Street for the lowest price, with no care for communities, ecosystems, or flavor😑🕵️♀️
So when we found La Rifa Chocolatería and they told us they work with a small, female-operated cacao producer in Tabasco, MX growing the tastiest chocolate 🍫, we didn’t hesitate to order as much as we could 😆
The aroma is cacao forward with hints of caramel. After the beans are harvested, fermented, and dried, they travel to La Rifa for careful roasting, where piloncillo is incorporated to balance the sweetness. Piloncillo is unrefined whole cane sugar that’s traditional to Mexico. It hasn’t been processed, bleached, or stripped of its molasses, so it retains a deep, complex flavor.
This should last us a little while! 😆🎉
