The cocoa is grown by Mayan farmers in the Mayan Mountains in the Toledo district of Belize. The chocolate is organic and glutin free. Fair trade. Cost a little more but is well worth the taste. I would take it home to Canada if I could prevent melting. After you taste the free samples, you can't resist buying a bar or two.

Maya House of Cacao is a chocolate museum describing the history of chocolate in the Mayan culture.
