Soma Chocolatemaker has done it again. The small 15-year-old Canadian company took home gold from the International Chocolate Awards last year for their released Guasare dark chocolate bar—made with 70 percent cacao solids sourced from Venezuela. Judges deemed it to be the best overall dark chocolate bar out of 85 finalists from around the world.

A two-shop enterprise out of Toronto, Soma is known locally for everything from their drinking chocolate to elaborate holiday confections, decadent truffles and their creative microbatch bars. Last year, the company told us that they “prefer staying small — and great”— and the awards rolling in prove the strategy is working. (Fortunately they ship to the rest of Canada, so no one has to miss out.)

With flavour notes  of cream, malt, cacao, coffee, tamarind and figs it sounds like there’s an exotic-sounding depth of flavour to be explored in this brand-new bar.
