What the Experts Say
Ancient Tradition, Modern Chocolate
While most dark chocolate comes in a bar that snaps, Diego’s is crafted for a different experience. Our traditional Mayan process results in a rustic texture—dense, fudge-like, and deeply satisfying. It's what we're known for.
Diego's Chocolate starts with a grandmother's teachings, passed down through generations of his Tz'utujil (tzoo-to-HEEL) Mayan family.
We honor this tradition by hand-crafting and packaging each chocolate roll in Guatemala, where the journey from cacao bean to dark chocolate happens entirely in one place.
While the world rushes toward automation, Diego and team preserve something precious.
Fire-roasted beans. Hand-colored labels. We choose people power over machines, sustaining and creating job opportunities in our community with every chocolate we make.

From Cattle to Cacao
When you protect a forest, you protect a future. Our partners at Kampura grow cacao in harmony with Guatemala's native ecosystem, preserving biodiversity while allowing us to produce chocolate of uncommon quality. It's a difference you can taste.
A former cattle ranch, Kampura uses agroforestry techniques. Such cacao forests are alive with possibility. Birds nest above, orchids bloom below, and between them grows the cacao that becomes your chocolate. Like Diego’s they also create important jobs in a struggling economy.
This complex ecosystem protects more than wildlife. It also upholds our individual efforts to consume consciously.
