Sail Shipped Opita Colombia 70% Dark Chocolate Bar

Sail Shipped Opita Colombia 70% Dark Chocolate Bar

Bringing you this incredibly special limited edition bar for 2026, featuring cocoa beans sailed across the ocean.

We began importing sail-shipped cocoa beans in 2015, supporting a slower, lower-impact alternative to conventional freight. After several years of logistical and sourcing challenges, we’re excited to once again be working with sail-shipped beans through partners including TOWT, and Nahu.

These beans travelled from Colombia via sail to France before making the final journey to the UK alongside our own trip back from Bordeaux, helping minimise additional transport impact. While small in scale, these bars represent our commitment to lower-carbon shipping, thoughtful sourcing, and chocolate with a deeper connection to origin.

Grown in the biodiverse agroforestry landscapes of Huila, Colombia, Opita cacao showcases the exceptional quality of modern Colombian cacao. Cultivated beneath a mixed canopy of fruit and native forest trees, the beans are hand-harvested and carefully fermented and dried to develop their distinctive flavour. This cacao reflects both its remarkable origin and the expertise of the communities behind it.

The packaging is a collaboration with local illustrator David Doran, a globally renowned artist. We really wanted the packaging to reflect the incredible growers, the journey across the sea and the makers here in the factory in Falmouth. We couldn’t be happier with the final result.

Enjoy!
