Cuba 75%
by François Pralus in France
"This is a true opportunity to taste chocolate from Cuba refined in Europe. Import bans, random supply make it increasingly rare... A shame, as you will be surprised by this chocolate. Close your eyes and start thinking about the island, its coffee, its cigars, its rum, its music... Now taste the richness and flavors of our Cuba."

Origin
Cuba, while traditionally known for its production of cane sugar and tobacco, has a long history with cocoa dating back to 1540. The eastern provinces of Cuba, with their optimal climate for cocoa cultivation, have been producing cocoa beans for centuries. The Cuban Revolution in 1959 sought to diversify the country's agriculture, and cocoa production has been on the rise ever since. Due to an ongoing US embargo, Cuban cocoa beans are mainly exported to Europe and Asia, which may account for their distinctive flavor profile and the unique taste.
