Taza is a true bean-to-bar chocolate maker located in Somerville, Massachusetts, and is the only maker of 100% stone ground chocolate in the United States. Taza sources organically grown cacao beans directly from small farmer cooperatives ensuring those farmers receive more than fair trade prices for their high quality cacao. Taza is uniquely positioned as one of the only independently owned, socially, and environmentally responsible chocolate makers in the country. Taza Chocolate’s unique texture comes from antique Mexican stone mills. Each millstone is hand-dressed to bring out the maximum flavor potential from the cacao beans.

Taza’s chocolate-making process is designed to capture the true flavor of the cacao bean by minimally processing the chocolate every step of the way. By putting care into the entire process, from the sourcing of ingredients from proud farmers, to molding finished chocolate bars, Taza is dedicated to quality, and to serving customers, local communities, and the environment.

Taza’s take on the infamous Ibarra disc, this is the simplest, most delicious chocolate you’ll ever taste. Made only with their Mexican stone mills (molinos), this chocolate contains only three ingredients: roasted cocoa beans, cane sugar, and a unique spice. Whip up a rich, authentic taza de chocolate mexicano, or eat it as is!

Many varieties are available, each sold separately, including: Cinnamon, Chile, Almond, and Vanilla.

USDA organic and Direct tradeTM Certified.
Varieties Sold Separately.

Sacred Gifts, Profane Pleasures: A History of Tobacco and Chocolate in the Atlantic World Reviews

Sacred Gifts, Profane Pleasures: A History of Tobacco and Chocolate in the Atlantic World

Sacred Gifts, Profane Pleasures: A History of Tobacco and Chocolate in the Atlantic World

Before Columbus’s fateful voyage in 1492, no European had ever seen, much less tasted, tobacco or chocolate. Initially dismissed as dry leaves and an odd Indian drink, these two commodities came to conquer Europe on a scale unsurpassed by any other American resource or product. A fascinating story of contact, exploration, and exchange in the Atlantic world, Sacred Gifts, Profane Pleasures traces the ways in which these two goods of the Americas both changed and were changed by Europe.

Focusing on the Spanish Empire, Marcy Norton investigates how tobacco and chocolate became material and symbolic links to the pre-Hispanic past for colonized Indians and colonizing Europeans alike. Botanical ambassadors of the American continent, they also profoundly affected Europe. Tobacco, once condemned as proof of Indian diabolism, became the constant companion of clergymen and the single largest source of state revenue in Spain. Before coffee or tea became popular in Europe, chocolate was the drink that energized the fatigued and uplifted the depressed. However, no one could quite forget the pagan past of tobacco and chocolate, despite their apparent Europeanization: physicians relied on Mesoamerican medical systems for their understanding of tobacco; theologians looked to Aztec precedent to decide whether chocolate drinking violated Lenten fasts.

The struggle of scientists, theologians, and aficionados alike to reconcile notions of European superiority with the fact of American influence shaped key modern developments ranging from natural history to secularization. Norton considers the material, social, and cultural interaction between Europe and the Americas with historical depth and insight that goes beyond the portrayal of Columbian exchange simply as a matter of exploitation, infection, and conquest.
