Taza Chocolate Organic Mexicano Disc 85% Super Dark are rustic, stone‑ground chocolate discs crafted in small batches for bold, intense cacao flavor and versatile use—ready to eat or melt into hot chocolate.

Inspired by traditional Mexican chocolate methods, these handcrafted discs are milled on hand‑carved granite stones for a coarse, chewy texture and bright chocolate notes. Each pack contains twelve 2.75‑oz discs of 85% cacao, made from organic, Direct Trade beans and finished with minimal processing to preserve lively flavor. They come certified USDA Organic, Non‑GMO Project Verified, Kosher, and are vegan, dairy‑free, and gluten‑free—an ingredient‑forward option for bakers, beverage makers, and chocolate lovers seeking an assertive dark bar with rustic character.

How does stone‑ground chocolate change the taste and texture?

Stone grinding leaves tiny, uneven particles of cacao and sugar, creating a coarse mouthfeel and a more pronounced cacao presence compared with refined bars. The result is a lively flavor profile with grainy, melt‑in‑the‑mouth moments and lingering bittersweet notes.

• Coarse texture from granite millstone milling
• Stronger cacao intensity due to minimal refining
• Subtle gritty chew that highlights origin flavors

What are the best ways to use these 85% Mexicano discs?

These discs are versatile: enjoy them as snackable single‑serve rounds, grate them over desserts, or dissolve them into milk or plant milk for a robust hot chocolate. Their high cacao content makes them ideal for recipes that need bold chocolate backbone without added sweetness.

• Stir into warm milk for rich hot or iced chocolate
• Chop or shave over baked goods and fruit
• Use in savory mole or dark ganache recipes where bitterness is welcome

What certifications and dietary needs does this product meet?

These Mexicano discs are crafted to meet a range of quality and dietary standards: they are USDA Organic, Non‑GMO Project Verified, Kosher, and Direct Trade certified. The ingredient list is short and free from dairy, gluten, and soy, making it suitable for many plant‑based and allergy‑friendly diets.

• USDA Organic and Non‑GMO Project Verified

How should you store and handle these discs for best flavor?

Keep discs in a cool, dry place away from strong odors and direct sunlight to preserve their complex flavor. For longer storage, wrap tightly and refrigerate; bring to room temperature before serving to let the stone‑ground texture and aromatics open up.

• Store between 60–70°F in airtight packaging
• Avoid exposure to strong-smelling foods to prevent flavor transfer
• Warm gently for drinking or grate cold for textured toppings

Who is this for? These Taza Chocolate 85% Mexicano discs are suited to aficionados of bold, minimally processed chocolate, home cooks who want an assertive ingredient for drinks and desserts, and anyone following organic or plant‑based diets.
