Krak Chocolate - Belize Peini - Dark Chocolate


Indulge in 70% dark chocolate crafted from beans sourced from Punta Gorda (Peini), in the Toledo district of Belize. Since 2016, Peini Plantation has been cultivating its own cocoa on 96 hectares of land and works closely with local farmers through its sister company, Belize Cocoa Trade.
In collaboration with the Na'Lu'Um Cocoa Institute, an association of local Mayan cocoa farmers, they have distributed thousands of free saplings to these farmers, providing support with training and microfinance. Thanks to this initiative, approximately 204 cocoa-producing families now enjoy a stable, fair price market for their beans, enabling them to grow their farming ventures and enhance their family livelihoods.
Post-harvest processes are conducted at a central facility where the beans undergo a 7-day fermentation in crates made from Santa Maria wood. After fermentation, the beans are transported by wheelbarrow to drying tables, where they remain until they reach the desired appearance.

Krak Chocolate is the company founded by bean-to-bar chocolate maker Mark Schimmel. While most chocolatiers and confectioners use melted factory chocolate, Mark handles the entire process himself.
By selecting cocoa beans based on vintage and specific origin, and then roasting and rolling the chocolate, he creates unique flavours you won't find in supermarket chocolate bars.
