This award-winning bar is crafted with freshly pressed Dominican Republic Oko Caribe cocoa butter for intense single origin flavor and exceptional smoothness.  We’re one of the only chocolate makers in the country to press our own cocoa butter, and it makes a world of difference in flavor.

This organic single origin bar has been made with carefully selected cocoa beans sourced from the Dominican Republic. The silkiest, smoothest bean to bar chocolate allows the beautiful mellow tones to shine through for you to indulge in delicous nutty array of flavors from the caramel to toffee. This will be your unforgetable experience having you come back for more and more. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

REGION AND COUNTRY: San Francisco de Macorís, Duarte province, Dominican Republic

STORY: The Spanish introduced cacao to the island of Hispaniola at the end of the XVI and the beginning of the XVII century. Throughout the centuries, cocoa remained a big part of the agricultural production of the country. Dominican cocoa is exported as two qualities: Sánchez, natural, unfermented cacao sold mainly to the U.S.A., and Hispaniola, good fermented cocoa.
Öko-Caribe works with small holder farmers in the northeast of the island. Their cacao is collected fresh and brought within the first 4 to 6 hours to a centralized fermentation station.

HARVEST: March – June (main crop) October – December (mid-crop)

GENETICS: Dominican cacao is a mixture of different genetic varieties: Jamaican, Amazon Amelonado, Ecuadorian Nacional, Venezuelan Criollo, Rio Caribe, and Trinitario hybrids. 85% of all plantations in the country use high quality genetic material.

POST HARVESTING PROCESS: Beans are fermented in tiered wooden boxes during 5 to 6 days. Once fermented, the cacao is dried in solar dryers and bagged in 70 kg. polypropylene bags.

FLAVOUR: Strong chocolate base with notes of coconut milk, caramel, vanilla, crème bruleé, lavender & violets.

GET REWARDED: We love our loyal customers. Therefore with every third order receive a surprise full size chocolate product.

  1. Deborah K

    The dark chocolate is amazing!! I had a sample and I can’t wait to have the bar. Am trying to resist until I fancy it!

  2. Lucia K.

    This was a gift to someone who is a big dark chocolate fan – they said it had beautiful depth of flavor, and all the bars they received were unique, flavorful, and delicious.

  3. D. Charles

    I love this chocolate!

  4. Customer

    Such a Treat.

  5. Sarah H

    The best!!
    Without exception the best chocolate I’ve ever had!

  6. Customer

    Excellent chocolate!
    Smooth, with a wonderful aftertaste.

  7. Oliver

    So delicious, always worth sharing with friends!
    We have grown to love Superfood Cocoa chocolates so much, that one of our favorite things is to share it with friends who have never experienced single origin chocolate. They too have become regular customers.

  8. Customer

    Continues to be my favorite chocolate. I like the flavor of the beans, thickness of the bars and finish on my tongue.

  9. Shirley L

    Hands-down my favorite!
    Several years ago good friends introduced me to Superfood Cocoa chocolate with a bar of Rum Reggae Dark Chocolate. Prior to this I was never a fan of plain chocolate, or even dark chocolate. But the flavor was remarkable, unlike anything I’d tasted before. I ordered a few other bars to taste and found that I really like 70% chocolate even more. I tried the Dominican Dark and I discovered my true favorite and I now buy 10 bars each month. It’s definitely a DARK chocolate! It’s an expensive “habit”, but life’s too short to not indulge a bit.

  10. William H

    Ordered some bars and the freshly pressed cacao powder to make my own hot chocolate. Hands down the best chocolate I’ve ever tasted. In fact, after tasting their chocolate bars, I’ve realized that i have never actually had GOOD chocolate in my life. Totally different experience and will definitely be ordering again soon!

  11. Tom

    I don’t normally make reviews, but I can’t help this time.

    I have been trying a different bean-to-bar chocolate from several different makers for every day of December (like a chocolate Advent calendar). This chocolate has been my favorite so far, and it was the very clear favorite when compared to another very good producer (who shall remain nameless) who offers an (also tasty but less complex) Dominican Oko Caribe bar. I found caramel notes right out of the gate, which gave way to a very pleasant fruity brightness. A very slight and mild spice (achiote?) whispers in the finish. Adding a pinch of salt to the tasting further helps unveil the fruitiness into even more pronounced violets and lavender. A very pleasant ride of flavours, aroma, and super smooth texture.

  12. Jordan C

    Unique . smooth, melts in your mouth, faintly bitter but overall taste very good.

  13. Customer

    My order consisted of a half dozen or so bars, each was made from beans sourced from different Central/South American countries. All were tasty and exceptionally good. I would recommend trying several so you can make informed decisions on what you like best for subsequent orders.

  14. Customer

    This is the most flavorful and delicious chocolate I have ever eaten. It is far and away the best ever!

  15. Customer

    Excellent and quick delivery. Thank you

  16. Customer

    I just keep buying so much. I buy your chocolate every month many different varieties.

  17. Customer

    Just perfect. Perhaps the best chocolate I’ve ever had. I’ll now be a returning customer for sure!

  18. Customer

    This is yet another BEST chocolate.

  19. Customer

    Superb chocolate! I love Superfood Cocoa chocolate. It’s a real treat. Love how the beans and butter are sourced. I’m vegan and really enjoy the dark chocolate and the coconut milk chocolate bar.

  20. Customer

    Fabulous, one of my new favorites!!!! This chocolate bar is mind-glowingly delicious! It’s rich and decadent with bright fruity notes that make the bar so elegant and refined. Love, love, LOVE!

  21. Customer

    Remains a favourite.

  22. Customer

    Great chocolate.

  23. Customer

    Decadent treat. Lovely taste. Smooth.

  24. Customer

    Wow! The Superfood Cocoa single origin chocolates have so much personality that it is tough to choose a favorite, but at the moment the dark Dominican Republic is mine. The flavors are so rich and complex that one small bite is totally satisfying. The 30g may seem at first a small bar but at the end I am so satisfied that any bigger would be just too much.

  25. Customer

    UNBELIEVABLE! And I love that the same beans are being used to press cocoa butter (which is done for all superfood Cocoa chocolates) accentuates the unique notes/flavor even more and gives a silky smoothness.
