Theo Origin Chocolate

THEO 3 oz. ORIGIN BAR LINE

These chocolates are nothing but cacao beans and sugar. I was a little apprehensive what the taste/texture would be like without the cocoa butter and soy lechithin...but the quality of the cacao beans they use, sourced from places lik Venezuela, the Ivory Coast (my favorite!), Madagascar, Ghana is so high that blending it with organic beet sugar grown in Sweden imparts a pure, clean sweetness that complements, rather than interferes with the nuanced flavors of the beans.

Now that's chocolate. The line ranges from 65 - 91% cacao content, and offers a true chocolate experience, rich in both satisfying flavor and antioxidants. Theo Origin Bars are vegan and soy-free and the company is committed to supporting small farmers.

Bonus: here's an article on how eating chocolate while pregnant may make for happier babies (happier mommies, at least). Read here.

    where did you find those? they sound great. I also think those labels are awesome, not that it has anything to do with the quality of the chocolate, but it would make me feel oh so stylish while eating it.

  6. Hi Susan,

    If I go to MacDowell again, will have to go shopping at your place for healthy supplies!
