THRIVU Esmeraldas 70% with Nibs, Salt and Calendula Flowers and Smoked Chili

This holiday season, awaken the senses with a dark chocolate that dares to be unforgettable. THRIVU Esmeraldas 70% is a bold, multi-layered expression of Ecuadorian cacao—crafted for adventurous palates and elevated gifting.

Sourced from the vibrant coastal region of Esmeraldas, this single-origin 70% dark chocolate opens with deep, velvety notes of roasted cacao and subtle red fruit. Crunchy cacao nibs add a satisfying snap, while a whisper of sea salt sharpens and amplifies every flavor. Golden calendula petals bring a delicate floral finish, and the experience crescendos with a slow-building warmth from smoked chili—lingering, seductive, and just the right amount of daring.

It’s sweet. It’s smoky. It’s floral. It’s fire-kissed.
And it’s the definition of a holiday showstopper.

Perfect for bold chocolate lovers
A stunning pairing with red wine, mezcal, or espresso
An unforgettable gift for those who have everything

Light up the holidays with a chocolate that surprises, excites, and leaves a lasting impression.
