Making the world a little sweeter, one ethically sourced little bar at a time.
ALL LITTLE BURDE BARS ARE SINGLE-ORIGIN
Single-origin chocolate is made with beans from a single origin, either a coop from a distinct region or a single farm. Chocolate much like wine or coffee has very distinct flavor profiles that are inherent to the place they are from.
By using single origin chocolate we are able to get the true flavor profile of that bean rather than blending multiple flavor profiles together. Not only does it taste better and more complex but we know where our beans are coming from and can ensure they are ethically farmed, sourced and the farmers are being paid a fair price for their harvest. That makes the chocolate all the sweeter.
BARS
All beans sourced directly and ethically by Meridian.
Tanzania Kokoa Kamili 71%
This was our first bar we put out into the world and there is a reason for that. It is delicious and it never disappoints.
