Origin & Craftsmanship
Sierra Sagrada celebrates the cacao grown in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta — a sacred mountain range on Colombia’s Caribbean coast revered for its biodiversity and ancestral relationship with Indigenous communities like the Arhuaco, Kogui, Wiwa, and Kankuamo. Cacao beans are sourced directly from local growers and crafted into small-batch, bean-to-bar chocolate with deep respect for place and tradition.

Flavor Profile
This 72% dark chocolate captures both clarity and depth. You’ll notice robust cocoa richness with subtle hints of fruit and floral undertones that speak to the unique terroir of Sierra Nevada — a profile that’s expressive yet refined.

Tasting & Pairing Guide

Let a square rest on your tongue to let its cocoa intensity unfold, then allow the fruit-like brightness to emerge with a gentle sweetness that lingers into the finish.
Pair this bar with a medium-bodied red wine like Pinot Noir to echo both fruit and cocoa notes, or choose a rich espresso to contrast and enhance its depth. For a non-alcoholic match, a floral oolong tea complements its nuanced profile. Serve with dried berries or toasted nuts for added texture and flavour harmony.

Summary

Sierra Sagrada’s Sierra Nevada 72% Dark Chocolate is an artisanal single-origin expression rooted in Colombian terroir and Indigenous cocoa cultivation. Its balanced richness and vibrant subtlety make it a standout choice for lovers of dark chocolate with depth and regional character.

Vegan, Dairy-free

Enjoy premium chocolate made with cocoa from a sacred territory the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta - the Heart of the World. The maker operates from Santa Marta, Colombia and makes absolutely delicious single-origin small-batch bean-to-bar chocolate using Criollo (Creole) cacao from the highest intertropical coastal peak of the planet which is rich in biodiversity and culture. Due to its geographical position, the Sierra Nevada is a unique place highlighted in its' gratitude to Mother Earth for crops such as cocoa from several original tribes - Arhuacos, Koguis, Wiwas and Kankuamos - that consider the place to be sacred.

Sierra Sagrada's process begins with visiting cocoa farms and collection centres where the beans are processed. Once batches are verified under strict quality standards, direct purchase without any intermediaries is made from Arhuaco indigenous paying a fair price, generally above the competitive price offered by other buyers. The cocoa was obtained in a form of dried beans that were processed in accordance with the highest standards of chocolate-making. Later it is processed manually into pure dark chocolate bars with 72% cocoa content.

In the refining process, the size of the nibs is reduced until the desired fineness is achieved, improving their texture and fluidity and eliminating acidity. Little by little, the native aroma and flavour of Sierra Nevada cocoa are exposed. With a lot of love and dedication Sierra Sagrada makes real chocolate that indulges you and fills you with happiness.

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

Our chocolate makers proudly refrain from using any artificial stabilizers or preservatives in their products, making their creations more temperature-sensitive compared to other premium chocolates.

To ensure the optimal taste experience, it's advisable to store our chocolates in a cool, dry place where the temperature hovers between 16°C and 18°C. Please refrain from refrigerating our chocolates, as this may cause sugar crystallization due to increased humidity, altering their texture and flavor.

On the contrary, if stored in excessively high temperatures, cocoa butter may separate and form a white film on the chocolate's surface. This loss of cocoa butter can lead to the chocolate drying out and, consequently, a potential alteration in flavor. Your mindful storage practices will help preserve the integrity of our delectable chocolates.
