Eat Chocolate. Fresh air breathes fresh ideas. In 2009, Pete Truby, founder of Salazon Chocolate Co, was backpacking through Utah when the idea for an energy-rich salted chocolate bar came to him. After visiting small organic cacao farms in the Dominican Republic and perfecting the recipe, he launched Salazon Chocolate Co., the first salted chocolate. Salazon's Dominican Republic, single-origin organic dark chocolate is made with fermented and sun-dried Hispaniola cacao beans. Every bar is hand-sprinkled with natural, solar-evaporated sea salt. Why Salted Chocolate? Flavor Layering Flavor layering is a technique that has long been considered a cornerstone of culinary technique; it is the process of combining harmonious ingredients to enhance the taste of food by building variety and depth. The most important part of the process is selecting the right complementary ingredients. Surprisingly, contrasting flavors like sweet and salty are the best natural complements. It’s this concept of complementary contrasts that makes Salazon’s sea salt chocolate so beautifully balanced and flavorful. It's a Science... It has been scientifically demonstrated that salt suppresses acidity and bitterness. Because of this, they add a touch of sea salt to bring out their single-origin organic dark chocolate’s many nuanced flavors while balancing the sweetness of the sugar with the bitterness of the cocoa. The result of adding sea salt to dark chocolate? An incredibly smooth, yet bold sea salt chocolate bar. ...But Also an Art! But, before you run out and purchase any old sea salt chocolate, be aware that all salted chocolate bars are not created equal! Salazon Chocolate Co. is the first and original salted chocolate company. Dark chocolate with sea salt is they we do and it is their passion. They have dedicated years to creating the perfect sea salt chocolate bar by studying everything from amount of salt used, to coarseness and origin. That’s why every dark chocolate bar is hand sprinkled with just the right amount of natural sea salt. Too much salt overwhelms the chocolate, while too little salt leaves the flavor flat. Frequently Asked Questions What does Salazon mean? Salazon is Spanish for salted and Salazon Chocolate Co. is the first salted-chocolate based brand. They chose Spanish to pay homage to the Spanish speaking regions (including the Dominican Republic) that have played such a pivotal role in the cultivation and development of cacao and chocolate. Why do they combine chocolate and salt? Salt, when used in moderation, is excellent at enhancing the food it is paired with. This is no different with dark chocolate, one of the most complex and delicious foods known to man. They add a touch of sea salt to bring out their organic chocolate’s nuanced flavors while balancing the sweetness of the sugar and the bitterness of the cocoa. Why are some of the ingredients sprinkled on the bar instead of mixed in? Again, they chose not to follow convention. Most chocolate companies mix all ingredients into the chocolate when it is melted, and they tried that as well. However, even though it was easier, it wasn’t better. The salt, in particular, when mixed into the chocolate just didn’t give them the texture or taste they were looking for. What is the percentage of cocoa in Salazon's bars? They offer a selection of 57% and 72% dark chocolate bars. The cocoa for all their bars is smooth, not too sweet or
