Taza Chocolate is a small, wonderful company that makes extraordinary organic, stone-ground dark chocolate. It’s a true bean-to-bar company located in Somerville, MA, but the chocolate bars are sold in numerous stores nationwide. Come along for a personal visit with Alex Whitmore, co-founder, who apprenticed with traditional chocolate makers in Mexico.
As if you didn’t have enough excuses to eat dark chocolate for the flavor, there’s also the health factor. Among the benefits of chocolate:
- High in antioxidants. Taza chocolate has three times the amount found in milk chocolate.
- Contains mono-unsaturated fat, so it helps lower cholesterol.
- Helps promote blood flow, reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

Enjoy!
