Definite Chocolate Dominican Rum 75% Dark Chocolate Bar

50 g bar - Dominican Republic

Dark chocolate, Dominican cacao, and Dominican rum come together in a bar that feels unmistakably tied to its place of origin.

Definite Chocolate infuses this 75% dark chocolate with Brugal rum, giving the bar a warm, aromatic character that unfolds slowly as the chocolate melts. Notes of dried fruit and molasses echo both the deep flavor of the cacao and the richness of the rum, creating a bar that is layered, smooth, and gently warming rather than overtly sweet.

The cacao comes from Finca Elvesia in Hato Mayor, in the northeastern Dominican Republic. Established by a Swiss immigrant family in the late 19th century, the estate became one of the Caribbean’s most significant cacao plantations. Its cacao earned such a strong reputation with European chocolate makers that Swiss investors helped finance a railway connecting the farm to the port at Caño Hondo for export.

Today, Finca Elvesia spans more than 150 hectares of rolling agricultural land near the community of El Valle and is overseen by Ramón López, a native of El Cibao, the traditional heartland of Dominican cacao. The estate’s long cacao history and distinctive beans make a fitting foundation for a chocolate that pairs two of the Dominican Republic’s best-known flavors: fine cacao and aged rum.

For the fullest experience, let a piece melt slowly on the tongue. The rum emerges gradually, weaving into the chocolate’s dried-fruit and molasses notes and lingering through the finish.
