Taste the Origin of Chocolate



I discovered a delicous chocolate treat: Chocolate Seeds. For centuries chocolate confectioners have teased fine flavors from the seeds of the cacao tree. Nahualli Trading Co. goes a step further and combines the flavor of dark chocolate with roasted seeds of the cacao tree to create Chocolate Seeds.

Nahualli Trading Co. sources Criollo cacao seeds from fair trade and organic Ecuadorian farmers. A three-step process takes places to produce a decadent and rich taste. First, whole beans are carefully shelled. Next, the shelled beans are expertly roasted to develop a full, intense flavor. Finally, the roasted beans are perfectly seasoned with dark chocolate.

Two varieties of Chocolate Seeds are available:

• Chocolate Seeds enrobed in smooth dark chocolate. The combination is a fruity body with deep chocolate notes and no bitter finish (4 oz./$7.95; 7 oz./$15.95).
• Organic Chocolate Seeds covered with smooth dark organic chocolate. This version has a sweet punch with a pineapple finish (4 oz./$9.95; 7 oz./$17.95).

Chocolate Seeds can be purchased directly from Nahualli Trading Co. or at select retailers coast to coast. Visit www.nahuallitrading.com for more information.

You’ll find in this media kit a sample of the 100% Organic Chocolate Seeds and the Regular Chocolate Seeds; a flash drive that includes this press release, high-resolution images, and nutrition facts; and tea to enhance your Chocolate Seeds experience – or sample the seeds with your favorite red wine or port.
