"Whole Milk": Bringing you back to the traditional way of making milk chocolate. Vintage Plantations uses real milk -- instead of dairy cream, milk fractions, or substitutes. No whey powder, no caseinates.

You will notice a much darker, richer color, as we use real cocoa liquor and cocoa powder to make our milk chocolate.

Made of 100% shaded Ecuadorian cocoa varietal "Nacional" – a classified "fine flavor cocoa". Its flavor is smooth, nutty, with a long dominant chocolate note and no bitterness or acidity. To transmit the purest flavor, we did not add any vegetable fat nor vanilla covering aroma. Our chocolate bars have a high content of cocoa solids, less cocoa butter fat and a lower glycemic index. The cocoa beans are roasted slowly to preserve the high antioxidant levels of pure cocoa.

Vintage Plantations' mission is to safeguard heirloom cocoa varietals, encourage sustainable shade cocoa cultivation methods preserving the rain forest, and guarantee a fair price for cacao farmers.

This project is the coordinated effort of Vintage Plantations with the Rainforest Alliance, a conservation organization dedicated to implement better business practices for biodiversity, conservation and sustainability and “Conservacion y Desarrollo,” the Rainforest Alliance’s partner in Ecuador which audits the sustainable cocoa certification program. Vintage Plantations develops the chocolate and guarantees heirloom traceability from the farmer to you. Together we plan to protect the shaded Cocoa plantations.

By buying our bars, you support the farmers directly, help preserve shaded native cocoa varietal in Ecuador and safeguard the Ecuadorian rain forest.


Our Packaging was designed to protect the effort made by the farmer to develop a better aroma: this is why we use a sealed , air tight humidity and temperature protection wrapper in a hard cardboard case. so the chocolate arrives in good condition to you. we use the same protection that specialty coffee uses to protect the aroma of their coffee. we abandon plain foil aluminum, as we do not want the chocolate to be in contact with anything aluminum. Hence the Bio oriented layers of polyprop surrounding the aluminum.
