To'ak makes the world's finest and most expensive chocolates, with some of their single bars costing up to $450! Why? The cacao is grown in Manabi, Ecuador, which is to cacao what Burgundy is to wine. Beans come from the rarest variety, pure 100% Nacional, which is over 5,300 years old. To'ak also promotes sustainability and conservation. Barefoot is proud to offer these one-of-a-kind chocolates.
2021 Rain Harvest 0 Hours Conch Story: Heavy rains during ripening and harvest time seemed to push this cacao in a fruitier direction. With this edition, To'ak let loose the full force of those intrinsic flavors by opting to refrain from conching. Bold blackberry marmalade bursts forth, intermingling with notes of coffee, oak, and a touch of flowers.
Pairing Recommendations: Sweet single malts from Speyside, triple-distilled Irish whisky, well-aged bourbon, VSOP Cognac, reposado or anejo Tequila, Zacapa 21 Rum, and sweet dessert wines like Port or Sauternes. In the realm of cheese, creamy and nutty are always best. Robiola, brie, and triple-cremes are lovely. We also enjoy semi-soft cheeses like gouda, havarti, and fontina.

FARM INFO
This coffee is sourced from a family-owned farm in Meto Gundb. The owner, Lemma Edeto, began working in coffee 60 years ago and has passed down his knowledge to his sons, Nigusse and Haile, who operate the farm. The farm sits at the highest elevation in the region with old growth shade trees, naturally spring-fed streams, and native varietals of heirloom coffee that grow organically by default. The family also mills the coffee, giving them full control of the processing up to the final export stage.

Tasmanian Whisky Cask Aged Story: Winner of the prestigious World Whisky Awards, Sullivans Cove is a rising star in the world of whisky. To'ak's 2019 harvest was aged in an ex-Tawny Port cask that Sullivan's Cove used to age its whisky. Notes of dates and plums are imbued with plush notes of whisky throughout…from Tasmania to Ecuador.
Pairing Recommendations: If you can get your hands on a rare bottle of Sullivans Cove whisky, you have found the perfect pairing. As a backup option, look for a single malt from Speyside, a triple-distilled whisky from Ireland, bourbon, or cognac. Tawny port is another obvious choice. In the realm of cheese, opt for something creamy or nutty—like Brie, triple-cremes, Pyrenees sheep’s milk cheese, and Alpine-style cheeses.
