Bisou\u2019s wrappers aren\u2019t just pretty. They are educational too. That\u2019s a cacao flower in that Art Nouveau-esque design.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Bisou makes single-origin bars from locations across the equator in cacao strengths from 50% (mixed with organic coconut) to 100% (ground nibs only). Their ingredient lists are small, and they don\u2019t use dairy or soy products in their chocolate.<\/p>\n

They have expanded their line to include vegan truffles, caramels, and drag\u00e9es all made with their chocolate. They\u00a0also offer drinking chocolate in different cacao percentages, and chocolate dipped fruit. Some of their chocolate is vegan, including a white chocolate bar.<\/p>\n

You can find their bars and other confections online, at their storefront, and at some retail stores and farmers markets. Check their website<\/a> for locations.<\/p>\n
