Maya Mountain, Belize 70% Raccolto 2025 Tavoletta di Cioccolato Monorigine

I was curious how single-origin beans from Belize would taste, and the chocolate notes here are exactly what the description promised – deep and not too sweet. The bar breaks with a satisfying snap, and the 70% cacao feels smooth on the tongue without any chalkiness.

The 70% is right in that sweet spot where the chocolate notes come through without any bitterness. Knowing it comes from 400 family farms in southern Belize makes it feel a little more special, too.

I've been buying single-origin bars for years and this one actually tastes like something specific — bright fruit up front that settles into a deep chocolate finish. Knowing it comes from 400 small family farms in southern Belize makes the $10-ish price feel fair. Already ordered two more.
