The Best From the Tropics: Organic & Fairly Traded Chocolate from Panama 
It was in the last Summer Fancy Food Show in Washington when I learned about how far has our cocoa beans gotten in the international chocolate world! It was such a great surprise, and the best part is that I had the opportunity to taste them and compare it to others.
In September 2008, Equal Exchange launched our first single origin chocolate bar, using cacao beans from Panama. We have received nothing but superb feedback on this new bar, the Organic Panama Extra Dark (80% cacao content), which people are describing as rich, robust, well-balanced, chocolatey, fudge-like and more....
