Taza Discos refers to a line of stone-ground chocolate discs produced by Taza Chocolate, an American craft chocolate company based in Somerville, Massachusetts. Founded in 2005 by Alex Whitmore and Kathleen Fulton, Taza Chocolate is known for its distinctive approach to chocolate making, inspired by traditional Mexican chocolate techniques.
The Taza Discos are circular, rustic chocolate discs made from minimally processed, stone-ground organic cacao. The texture of the discs is intentionally coarse and gritty, preserving the bold, complex flavors of the cacao beans. The chocolate is produced without dairy, soy, or artificial ingredients, appealing to consumers seeking clean-label and vegan-friendly options.
Available in a variety of flavors, including Cinnamon, Vanilla, Guajillo Chili, Sea Salt & Almond, and classic 85% Dark, Taza Discos are traditionally packaged in brightly colored, round wrappers inspired by Mexican design motifs. The discs are commonly used for snacking, baking, or preparing traditional Mexican-style drinking chocolate.
Taza Chocolate sources its cacao directly from smallholder farmers through its Direct Trade Certified program, emphasizing transparency, ethical sourcing, and sustainability.
