Signature Flavor of Maya Mountain 74%

The Maya Mountain 74% tablet is crafted using cocoa beans cultivated by small farmers in southern Belize, many of whom are of Maya descent. The culture of cacao farming has been passed down through generations in this region. Each tablet offers a delightful bittersweet taste characterized by subtle hints of pineapple and lemon and a lingering powerful cocoa flavor. This exceptional blend has drawn the attention and admiration of chocolate connoisseurs worldwide, earning its prestigious Gold Award in the Dark Bean-to-Bar category at the Academy of Chocolate in 2021.

A Commitment to Quality and Sustainability

Benoit Nihant is dedicated not just to producing luxurious chocolate but also to fostering sustainable farming practices. The brand emphasizes fair trade with cacao producers and is actively involved in environmental initiatives, such as reforestation, through its own cocoa farms in Peru. Each chocolate piece is a celebration of the land, the people, and the careful craftsmanship that goes into chocolate production.
