The Hot Chocolate with 100% cocoa from the Tesoro Escondido cocoa plantation in Ecuador melts perfectly in the warm liquid and exudes beguiling aromas of fresh berries and delicate roasted flavours. Thanks to a touch of cocoa butter, the drinking cocoa is smooth and can be sweetened with birch sugar, honey, agave syrup or raw sugar as desired.
Tesoro Escondido, which means “hidden treasure”, refers to the nature reserve located in the province of Esmeraldas in northern Ecuador. Magnificent flora and fauna thrive here. But there is a danger of deforestation. Thanks to the farmers’ cooperative ASOPROTESCO, which was founded by families who have lived here for generations, high-quality cocoa is produced here. The farmers cultivate the cocoa trees in the shade of other local plants in order to diversify the entire agricultural sector.
Founded in 2018, Laflor is a Zurich-based chocolate manufactory dedicated to craftsmanship and authenticity. The company works exclusively with premium cacao beans from small-scale farmers and sources them directly, ensuring full transparency and paying fair, above-market prices that honor their work. Each chocolate is produced in small batches, without additives, allowing the natural complexity and character of the cacao to shine through. Laflor chocolate offers a truly distinctive taste experience.
