Origin & Craftsmanship
Part of the Frontera Collection—a collaborative effort between Sleep Walk Chocolateria and Chef Rick Bayless—this bar draws inspiration from the rich culinary traditions of Mexico. Crafted with organic cacao sourced from Chiapas and Tabasco, each bar is precisely curated to evoke regional flavors and experiences.

Flavor Profile
This 70% dark chocolate bar draws on the complex and layered flavors of traditional mole. It blends dark cacao with aromatic spices—cinnamon, black pepper, and allspice—and carries a robust savory depth, thanks to the rich, sauce-like mole filling at its heart. The result is a deeply spiced, vibrant chocolate experience.

Accolades & Recognition

Tasting & Pairing Guide

Allow the bar to rest on your palate to fully experience its warming spices and the savory mole core. Enjoy it alongside a smoky mezcal or añejo tequila to mirror its earthy, spicy depths. A robust espresso or bold, roasted coffee also pairs beautifully with this bar’s intense flavor. For a complementary snack, try it with roasted nuts or blue-corn crackers—their earthiness accentuates the bar’s complex spice profile.

Keep in a cool, dry place, away from direct light and strong odors. Store at maximum
18 ° C in its original packaging

Nos chocolatiers s'abstiennent fièrement d'utiliser des stabilisateurs ou des conservateurs artificiels dans leurs produits, ce qui rend leurs créations plus sensibles à la température par rapport aux autres chocolats haut de gamme.

Pour garantir une expérience gustative optimale, il est conseillé de conserver nos chocolats dans un endroit frais et sec où la température oscille entre 16°C et 18°C. Nous vous conseillons de ne pas réfrigérer nos chocolats, car cela pourrait provoquer une cristallisation du sucre due à l'augmentation de l'humidité, altérant ainsi leur texture et leur saveur.

Au contraire, s'il est conservé à des températures trop élevées, le beurre de cacao peut se séparer et former un film blanc à la surface du chocolat. Cette perte de beurre de cacao peut entraîner un dessèchement du chocolat et, par conséquent, une altération potentielle de sa saveur. Vos pratiques de conservation réfléchies contribueront à préserver l'intégrité de nos délicieux chocolats.
