Their story

Antidote is the chocolate brand created by Red Thalhammer, who set out to make dark bars with bold, unusual pairings. The bars are made in Ecuador, close to the cacao, using Arriba Nacional beans.

The lineup runs from 77% and 84% bars with flavors like almond and fennel, ginger and gooseberry, or lavender and red salt, to 100% bars with no added sugar.

How it's made

Each bar blends roasted cacao beans with raw cacao nibs in roughly equal parts, then is infused with herbs and spices. The cacao is Arriba Nacional, a fine-flavor variety grown in Ecuador.

Why we carry them

We like Antidote for chocolate lovers who want something darker and more surprising. The flavor pairings are inventive without hiding the cacao.
