T’MARO CACAO NIB is a single-origin spirit-based cacao liqueur sweetened with dates. This product was made using Dandelion Chocolate single-origin cacao nibs from the Camino Verde farm in Ecuador. This product is a pure expression of two ingredients, chocolate and date liqueur.

THE STORY
Chef Elizabeth Falkner and beverage-alcohol industry veteran Heather Freyer were inspired by the Amaro and Eau de Vie they made and wanted to express dates and chocolate in the best way possible. They called on their friends at Dandelion Chocolate in San Francisco, a bean-to-bar chocolate maker to utilize some of their single origin cacao nibs to make this divine liqueur.

THE TASTE
Roasted chocolate, tobacco, cognac, desert nights, campfire
