KALLARI Chocolate {Giveaway} 3 Winners

KALLARI Chocolate










GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED
KALLARI is the only farmers' cooperative in the world that harvests, markets and enjoys all profits from its own line of organic chocolate. It is produced by a coalition of 850 indigenious Kichwa families in the Nap region fo the Ecuadorian Amazon. The chocolate is intensely flavorful and delicate with an extended finish and hints of fruit.
  • 100% of the profits go back to the cooperative- more than 850 family farms in the Ecuadorian Amazon.
  • Beyond Fair Trade, because of the high premium paid for beans and the profits that get returned to the cooperative.
I found KALLARI Chocolate while browsing the aisles of the Whole Foods Market and I knew I wanted to share it with my Leslie Loves Veggies Readers! When I got home I contacted KALLARI and they agreed to a Very generous Giveaway.. hint hint :) so keep on readin'

I was Blessed to review all three varieties of KALLARI Chocolate Y'all know about my LOVE AFFAIR with chocolate~ So this was a real Treat! We had a CHOCOLATE tasting party and boy was it fun! Here are our results..

70% Cacao ~ Delicious Dark Chocolate that Milk Chocolate Lovers will go crazy for! This was my daughters favorite! She said it was the sweetest of the bunch!



75% Cacao ~ Deep flavor of cacao, not too sweet! I love dark chocolate and this is wonderful! We all liked this one.. NOT too sweet at all! VERY Delish.

85% Cocao ~ For DARK CHOCOLATE LOVERS! Very Rich! If you love dark chocolate like I do, this is the bar for you. A little goes a long way. We had this with hot coffee and FELL IN LOVE!!! WE all loved this! My daughter's Mother-in-law who doesn't love dark chocolate LOVED this one!! She said she could really taste the cocao bean. This one melts so sinfully in your mouth!

The product I would love to try is the 75% cocao. I learned that this product has two servings per bar, 230 calories per serving. I am afraid that I would be very tempted to eat the whole thing at once in spite of the calories and not share!

I'd like to try all three because although all three include the same ingredients, the description of the 70% chocolate bar says that it invokes a taste of caramel and vanilla, while the 75% and 85% bars have a passion fruit and mahogany taste.

First comment got lost - I'll try again.
I'd love to try the 70% cacao first, as it would be sweeter and milder than the others. As my taste became accustomed to the stronger flavors, I'd move on to the 75% and 85%, and I know I'd love them, too.
