🏞️ El Tesoro: Cacao Crafted In Guatemala

 

Hidden in Guatemala’s mountainous interior, Finca El Tesoro is a cacao origin that reflects balance — between nature and cultivation, tradition and innovation. With careful attention to post-harvest practices and genetic selection, El Tesoro has become one of the most refined sources in Chocolates Sero’s single-origin lineup.

🌄 Cultivated in the Clouds

Located in a high-altitude region where cool air slows ripening and deepens flavor development, El Tesoro’s cacao stands apart. The slow maturation process encourages a fermentation style that gives the beans a remarkably clean and lingering finish, making this origin ideal for dark chocolate connoisseurs.

🍫 Signature Tasting Notes

Chocolate bars made with El Tesoro cacao typically reveal:

  • Smooth cacao body
  • Subtle fruity undertones
  • Crisp, elegant finish

It’s the kind of profile that appeals to both casual chocolate lovers and professional tasters looking for restraint, depth, and terroir expression.

🤍 Crafted for Single-Origin Purists

We celebrate El Tesoro through two format options:

Each bar is made with minimal ingredients, non-GMO, vegan, and free of preservatives — staying true to Chocolates Sero’s commitment to purity and provenance.

🌱 El Tesoro’s Role in the Chocolate Ecosystem

As global climates shift and farming conditions become more volatile, origins like El Tesoro offer stability and promise. Its altitude and careful soil management create resilience, while its fermentation techniques set a quality benchmark for neighboring farms.

This is more than a chocolate origin — it’s a model for ethical sourcing, flavor excellence, and the deep care behind every bar bearing the Chocolates Sero name.
