Caputo's - Wild Criollo

The chocolate we offer is crafted with care — and it deserves to be enjoyed that way. During warmer months, shipping conditions can cause chocolate to soften or melt. While we take care in packaging, we cannot guarantee that bars will arrive in perfect condition. For best results during warm months, we recommend selecting in-store pickup when possible.

Discovered growing wild in a remote Belizean rainforest, this chocolate bar features the rarest cacao on Earth. 100% genetically pure Criollo, long thought lost to history.

Thriving untamed in one of the world's most pristine ecosystems, these ancient trees are direct descendants of cacao once revered by indigenous civilizations. Believed to be hybridized out of existence, this rediscovered cacao offers an unmatched, heirloom flavor.

Crafted in partnership with Chocolate Naive and BFREE (Belize Foundation for Research & Environmental Education), this bar is more than chocolate; it's an archeological and ecological marvel.

100% Criollo. 100% Donated. Through Caputo's Preservation Program, all revenue from Caputo's Wild Criollo Chocolate Bar is donated to support BFREE's mission to preserve the environment and cultural heritage of Belize.
