100% means zero added sugar. This is pure ground cacao, the baseline that every other chocolate is built on, which makes it the cleanest way to add deep chocolate flavor to a recipe without adding sweetness. It’s unsweetened baking chocolate in the truest sense, and it swaps one-to-one for any recipe that calls for it. Ours is stone ground using hand-carved granite millstones in Somerville, MA, so it carries the bright, fruity notes of the bean and a melting consistency that survives the oven.

The 3 kg bag (6.6 lb) is the economical choice for a kitchen that bakes often. The chocolate comes in 3/8" squares that measure and melt easily, rather than a solid block you have to break down. If you only need a few ounces  at a time, reach for our retail 100% chocolate chunks instead; this bag is the same stoneground 100% chocolate, just sized for serious output.

Brownies and cakes: melt and add your own sugar to taste, you set the final sweetness. Ganache and coating: melt low and slow, then sweeten or pair with cream. Hot chocolate: grate into hot milk with sugar and a pinch of salt for a drink that actually tastes of cacao. Savory: shave into mole, chili, and braises. See the full Bulk & Baking collection for chunks, couverture, and the rest of the Pro Line.

Wicked rich and earthy, with the cacao-fruit brightness that stone grinding preserves. Intense and bitter on its own by design, which is exactly what you want from a baking chocolate you’re going to sweeten yourself. The medium grit is the cacao showing through, not a defect.

One ingredient: organic cacao beans, Direct Trade Certified. Taza was the first U.S. chocolate maker to build a third-party-audited Direct Trade program, and we pay our partner farmers above Fair Trade prices. You can see who grows our cacao and what we pay them in our annual Transparency Report.
