Taza Chocolate Stone-Ground 80% Dark Sea Salt & Almond Amaze Bar — 6 Pack (6 x 2.5 oz), Organic, Direct Trade, Vegan

This artisan bar delivers bold, authentic cacao flavor and a pleasantly gritty texture because it’s stone-ground using traditional Mexican-inspired mills. Each bar is organic and Direct Trade certified, offering a lower-sugar, high-flavor option for people who want a decadent snack that aligns with gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan diets.

What makes the stone-ground texture different from other dark chocolate?

The stone-ground method preserves more of the cacao’s natural character by grinding the beans coarser than conventional methods. That creates a rustic, slightly grainy mouthfeel and amplifies earthy, fruity, and roasted notes you won’t find in highly refined chocolates.

• Traditional granite millstones retain cacao grit for texture.
• Less processing preserves bold cacao flavors and aromas.
• Texture enhances pairing with crunchy almonds and flaky sea salt.

How does this bar fit into low-sugar or specialty diets?

The Amaze Bar balances intense dark cacao with minimal sweetener: it contains just 7 grams of sugar per serving and 4 grams of protein, making it suitable as a lower-sugar treat. The recipe is free from dairy, gluten, and soy and is certified vegan, accommodating common dietary restrictions without sacrificing flavor.

• Only 7 g sugar and 4 g protein per serving for mindful snacking.
• Certified USDA Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified ingredients.
• Gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, and vegan certified.

Where and how is this chocolate made and sourced?

Taza crafts these bars at its Somerville, Massachusetts factory, making chocolate from bean to bar using stone mills inspired by Mexican traditions. The cacao is Direct Trade certified, which emphasizes traceability and stronger relationships with growers rather than anonymous commodity sourcing.

• Handmade in Somerville, MA at Taza’s bean-to-bar facility.
• Direct Trade cacao to support transparent sourcing and farmer partnerships.
• Packaged as six 2.5 oz bars — packaging may vary.

How can I enjoy or serve the Sea Salt & Almond Amaze Bar?

Its firm texture and pronounced cacao profile make this bar versatile: eat it straight for a satisfying nibble, chop it into baking, or use it to enrich hot or iced chocolate drinks. The added sea salt and roasted almonds create contrast, elevating both sweet and savory pairings.

• Enjoy a square or two as a low-sugar snack or dessert substitute.
• Melt into milk alternatives for rich hot or iced chocolate beverages.
• Chop and fold into baked goods, granola, or trail mix for crunch.
