Taza Chocolate Mexicano Stone-Ground Disc Variety Pack, 6-Count 2.75 oz — Organic, Vegan, Direct Trade

Taza Chocolate Organic Mexicano Disc Variety Pack is a six-flavor sampler of rustic, stone-ground dark chocolate discs made from Direct Trade cacao and crafted for bold texture and bright flavor.

These Mexican-style discs bring the coarse, slightly gritty mouthfeel of traditional piedra mills to modern chocolate—each 2.75 oz disc highlights a distinct flavor profile including Cinnamon, Vanilla, Guajillo Chili, Salted Almond, Cacao Puro, and Coffee. The set is certified organic, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and non-GMO, and comes from Taza’s bean-to-bar process in Somerville, MA using hand-carved granite millstones. The variety pack is ideal for tasting, gifting, or experimenting with stone-ground chocolate in drinks and recipes.

How do these discs taste compared to standard chocolate?

Taza’s Mexicano discs emphasize pronounced cacao notes and an intentionally coarse texture, offering more rustic intensity than smooth, conched chocolates. Flavors range from pure cacao depth to spiced and nutty accents that linger on the palate. The stone-ground method preserves more of the bean’s natural character and produces a tactile chew you can both taste and feel.

• Cacao Puro: deep, unadorned dark chocolate flavor with earthy notes
• Cinnamon & Vanilla: warm baking spices that brighten the chocolate
• Guajillo Chili & Coffee: spicy or roasted accents for layered complexity
• Salted Almond: crunchy nut pieces and a savory-sweet finish

Can I use these discs for drinking chocolate and recipes?

Yes—these discs melt smoothly into milk or plant-based milk for rich hot or iced chocolate, and they add rustic texture and bold chocolate flavor to sauces, baked goods, or savory glazes. Because they’re stone-ground and unrefined, allow a bit more stirring when dissolving them, or chop for quicker melting in recipes.

• Hot/iced chocolate: simmer gently and whisk to integrate the discs
• Baking: fold chopped discs into batter for texture and deep cocoa flavor
• Savory uses: melt into mole-style sauces or dressings for depth

What dietary and sourcing attributes should I expect?

The discs are certified organic, Kosher, non-GMO, and made without dairy, soy, or gluten—suitable for many plant-based and allergy-aware diets. Taza operates a third‑party certified Direct Trade program, partnering directly with growers to support fair practices and environmental respect rather than anonymous middlemen.

• Dietary: vegan, dairy-free, soy-free, gluten-free
• Certifications: organic, Kosher, non-GMO
• Sourcing: certified Direct Trade with face-to-face farmer relationships

How should I store and serve the discs to preserve flavor and texture?

Keep discs in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odors to maintain their rustic texture and bright flavor. For drinking chocolate, grate or chop before heating for uniform melting; when gifting, include a variety to showcase contrasting profiles.

• Storage: room temperature, under 70°F, away from humidity
• Serving tip: chop or grate for faster melting and even dispersion
• Presentation: pair flavors with nuts, citrus zest, or robust coffees
