We Begin With Place

Every Artisan expression begins with place. We look to its traditions, ingredients, and memories, then translate that inspiration into chocolate.

The Inspiration

A Taste of Tradition

Deeply rooted in Mexican heritage, capirotada is far more than a dessert—it's a celebration of family, faith, and tradition. Most often enjoyed during Lent, the classic bread pudding layers toasted bolillo with a fragrant piloncillo syrup, dried fruit, nuts, spices, and cheese, creating a remarkable balance of sweet and savory flavors that has been passed from generation to generation.

The Chocolate Foundation

Mexico

Mexico · Chontalpa · 70% cacao

Before we add a single ingredient, we choose the chocolate that will carry the idea. Its origin and character become the foundation of the finished recipe.

The Recipe

A beloved family dessert, thoughtfully reimagined in chocolate.

We begin with our Mexico Pure Expression dark chocolate, then recreate the comforting flavors of capirotada through layers of piloncillo, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Toasted panko brings the familiar texture of rustic bread, while dried fruit and candied almonds complete a chocolate interpretation that honors one of Mexico's most cherished desserts.

The Experience

Capirotada is more than a seasonal dessert—it is a tradition that brings families together around the table. For many, its familiar aroma marks the arrival of Lent and carries memories of recipes carefully preserved across generations. Every family prepares it a little differently, but each version reflects hospitality, remembrance, and the enduring comfort of sharing food with those you love.
