Definite Chocolate

Definite Chocolate makes small-batch craft chocolate in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, with a deep focus on place, cacao quality, and relationships with local producers.

Founder Jens Kamin began making chocolate after discovering single-origin craft chocolate in Europe and later moving to the Dominican Republic, where he started learning firsthand about fine cacao, fermentation, and the farmers behind it. What began as a home project grew into Definite Chocolate, founded in 2018 and dedicated to making chocolate at origin from Dominican-grown cacao.

Definite works directly with cacao producers across different regions of the country, including farms and fermentaries in Duarte, Barahona, and Hato Mayor. Each origin brings its own character—from bright citrus and nutty notes to dried fruit, spice, and deeper caramel tones—and Definite designs its bars to let those differences show.

The company uses organic fine-flavor cacao and keeps its ingredient lists intentionally simple, without added flavorings or unnecessary additives. Many of its inclusion bars also feature ingredients grown or produced in the Dominican Republic, including local coffee, macadamias, rum, citrus, and sea salt. The result is a collection that feels unmistakably connected to the country where it is made.

Just as important is Definite’s relationship with its suppliers. The company works closely with growers and cacao processors who invest in better fermentation, agricultural training, organic certification, and long-term improvements in cacao quality. That close connection between farmer, maker, and finished bar is central to Definite’s approach.

From pure two-ingredient dark chocolate to inventive bars inspired by Dominican flavors, Definite Chocolate offers a delicious way to explore the diversity of cacao—and the growing craft chocolate culture—of the Dominican Republic.
