Cocoa is grown and harvested to produce a wide-ranging variety of chocolate for our tasting delight. In each region, the earth, temperatures, rain, wind and sun play a critical role in producing a chocolate of a specific flavor and aromatic profile. In wine, this concept is called terroir. In chocolate it is now synonymous with TCHO.

Since all their chocolate is dark, TCHO’s thrown the concept of “percent cocoa” out the window. Instead, they categorize their chocolates according to the flavor profile they are able to draw out of each one. Fruity? Nutty? Chocolatey? Despite the very unique tastes, it’s all just darn good chocolate.

Yet another reason to treat a TCHO chocolate like a glass of wine? TCHO suggests that a TCHO-a-day will keep the doctor away, and do a whole lot more. While they acknowledge the urge to exceed their recommended dosage will be ever-present, we know from experience that the TCHO-a-day pack is a delicious, healthy jar to have around.

Increase your knowledge of terroir, and now terroir-driven chocolate, with a TCHO 30-day pack. It’s the perfect stocking stuffer or the mid-afternoon pick me up.
