Black Jaguar Chocolate
Back in 2017, the founders of Black Jaguar Chocolate Scott & Emilie were film crew on a Agroforestry documentary. They encountered Cacao Trees, planted seedlings in the Amazon Basin of Bolivia and the relationship began very close to where Cacao trees and human culture originated thousands of years ago.
Scott and Emilie travelled for many years in the origin lands of cacao. Peru, the Amazon of Bolivia, the Sierra Nevada of Columbia, the Volcanic Ridges of Guatemala, and the Mayan sites in Mexico. A sense of wonder of the mysteries of Cacao led us to exceptional Cacao in Nicaragua where we created a fine chocolate business which we now bring to Vancouver Island since 2021.
We transparently source Nicaraguan Fine Cacao from small scale farmers. Once the cacao beans arrive in our hands we carefully sort, then gently roast, crack & winnow, stone-ground, temper, mold and hand wrap each bar.
Our chocolate factory is located at the Dock+ in Port Alberni, the heart of Vancouver Island.
