Other chocolatiers pride themselves for being “bean-to-bar”. This means they source beans and make chocolate from them. At U Chocolate, we plant our fine aroma cacao trees, harvest the fruit and create cacao products all at Hacienda Umbelina. This means we can guarantee the best quality by having total control on your cacao’s journey from “tree-to-you”.
Three reasons: products, proximity and process.
- Products: We only use quality products to create our recipes: our own cacao, natural spices and organic coconut sugar. Unlike the chocolate industry does, we use unrefined coconut sugar which has a lower glycemic index, making it a great alternative.
- Proximity: Thanks to the fact that we’re one of the world’s only chocolate farm-factory, we can ensure that we use the freshest cacao of the crop to make U Chocolate products.
- Process: We have perfected our agricultural and production process to maintain our cacao’s natural integrity, not only in flavor, but also in preserving as much as possible its antioxidant properties which would otherwise be lost due to oxidation or excessive heat.
Our chocolate products are crafted, not massively produced. We don’t use lecithin or other preserving agents like other industrial brands, so our chocolate can show its natural imperfections like white cocoa butter spots or marbling.
Since we grow all our cacao, there’s no need to outsource to producers from other regions. At Hacienda Umbelina, we’ve recovered native and wild varieties from the Amazon and Andes and mix them with our fine aroma varieties to create distinct blends that boost our cacao’s natural flavors.
Our Mocha Ceremony pods are the only ones that contain caffeine (about Xmg per Yml). It also contains theobromine, as do our Cacao Ceremony and Ginger Ceremony pods, a natural occuring stimulant in chocolate which is similar to caffeine, but milder in its effects on the body.
For the best experience, aim to use as little water as possible with both our Nespresso® machine-compatible pods and K-Cups® brewers-compatible pods to achieve a more concentrated drink. It should be creamy, not watered down. However, try it whichever way you like! With sugar, with milk, in your coffee...
- U Chocolate bars: keep in a cool and dry place, and avoid temperatures above 69 ºF (20 ºC).
- U Chocolate pods: keep in a cool and dry place, and avoid temperatures above 95 ºF (35 ºC) to avoid possible melting issues that could interfere with infusion.
- U Chocolate Bars: our bars are packaged in a biofilm plastic, that can be thrown in the compostable garbage bin, and paper-based pouches and boxes that can be recycled along with paper.
- U Chocolate Nespresso® machine-compatible pods: our bioplastic pods are compostable. Remove aluminium lid before composting.
- U Chocolate K-Cups® brewers-compatible pods: our pods can be recycled along with plastic items.
