Description

A newcomer on the Mexican bean-to-bar scene, Metiche approaches chocolate making with personal passion from farm to bar. Pushing limits at every level, Metiche offers us the opportunity to taste rare genetics, experimental ferments, and authentic Mexican ingredients - all packaged beautifully in wrappers that honor its traditional Mexican heritage.

For special treats, these bars aren't to be missed:

Finca de “Don Eder” uses rare and exquisite criollo cacao from a farmer friend in Soconusco, Chiapas, México. It features flavor notes of yellow plum, pineapple and honey.
Piloncillo - known as Mexican brown sugar is an ancient processing method for sugarcane that produces a more granular sugar with flavor notes of wood and vanilla.
Mezcal Legendario - made with mezcal soaked cacao nibs, this bar shows off fruity and smoky flavors with a subtle hint of mezcal.

About Chocolate Metiche

Meet Fabiola

Driven by an intense curiosity for chocolate making born out of the 2020 pandemic, Fabiola saved a couple of pesos to buy a small chocolate melanger made from stones from the nearest volcano (el volcán de colima). Someone in her city helped her get cacao beans from Chiapas, Mexico and within a couple of hours she began making chocolate from mixing the beans and sugar in her melanger.

She became obsessed with this process and went down the internet rabbit hole where she stumbled upon Manoa and Dylan Butterbaugh's CraftChocolateTV. After watching every single one of their videos, she wondered if she could ever work as an intern with them. She decided to take a shot and email them. Two months later she was on a plane to Hawaii to learn everything about chocolate making from the best of the best.

After her experience in Hawaii, Fabiola returned home and began travelling to the south of her country in search of the best cacao beans. She continues to experiment, creating unique chocolate bar flavors that represent a combination of her personality and her native country of Mexico.

Why We Love Them

DIRECT TRADE

Metiche works directly with farmers, visiting both the farmers and their farms before making purchases. They source from four areas of Mexico: Comalcalco in Tabasco (Finca las delias) and three areas in Chiapas: Tuzantán, El Hular, and Rancho San Rafael.

MEXICAN CIRCULAR BUSINESS

Chocolate Metiche carefully sources cacao beans, sugar, cocoa butter, inclusions, and even printed packaging from within Mexico. They desire to return money to the Mexican economy.

CUSTOM LABELS

If you are looking for a custom label for special events or private labels for retail, Metiche can create it for you. Choose your preferred flavor and brand messaging; starting at 300 bars.
