Olmeca Dark Chocolate is a delicious combination of cocoa beans, dark chocolate, and tequila from the province of Jalisco in Mexico. It has a smooth, silk-like texture that perfectly combines the rich dark chocolate flavour balanced with a dash of tequila for a smooth and effortless drinking experience.
The product is made by the extraction of fermented and distilled mark of blue agave, as well as added sugar. During the production process, 7-8 years old blue agaves are selected then transported to the distillery where they are cut into small pieces. The pieces are then cooked in the oven for 24 hours – a traditional method that has been used for more than 500 years. Thereafter, the agaves are crushed so they receive the marrow which Olmeca is produced.
