Definite Chocolate

Definite Chocolate is an artisan chocolate maker based in the Dominican Republic. The story begins with Jens and Marjorie, who met in 2008. Marjorie is originally from the Dominican Republic, and in 2015 she and their children moved there.

Jens always dreamed of becoming a chef, but ended up becoming an engineer in the energy sector. However, cooking remained his passion, and in his spare time, he took chocolate-making courses. In 2014, he visited the Salon du Chocolat in Cologne, and that was the moment he finally fell in love with chocolate.

In the Dominican Republic, he decided to turn his passion into his profession. Thus, Definite Chocolate was born, the first Dominican chocolate maker to win awards at the Academy of Chocolate in 2018. The company grew rapidly, and in 2019 they moved from a kitchen to a professional workshop, where they purchased a tempering machine. Before that, Jens tempered chocolate by hand.

Within Definite Chocolate, Jens is in charge of chocolate production, while Marjorie handles everything related to it, such as packaging design, finance, taste testing, social media, and more.

The motif on the beautiful packaging is inspired by the ornaments that can be found on the colonial houses that still stand on the island.

Zorzal

Description

The organic cocoa for this bar comes from Zorzal Cacao. In their 1019-acre bird sanctuary in the northern mountains of the Dominican Republic, they produce high-quality organic cocoa. Their dedication to nature is reflected in protecting the rare Bicknell’s pygmy glider, a migratory bird that winters on Hispaniola (the island that includes the Dominican Republic and Haiti). “Zorzal” is the Spanish word for dwarf glider.
