Pink Sea Salt Minis (Box of 100)
A rock solid classic in bite-size
A fruity, complex salted dark chocolate to end all salted dark chocolates. Made with single origin cacao from Zorzal Cacao, a farm and fermentary within a bird sanctuary in the Dominican Republic, and sprinkled with Peruvian pink salt sourced from Salt of the Earth Co.
At 71%, these little bites hit the dark sweet spot: dark enough for those who those who like a higher intensity chocolate, light enough for those who prefer a perfect balance of beans and sugar. We think New York Magazine said it best: this chocolate has a “deep, dark, mysterious flavor with hints of cherry; and a finish as long as a David Foster Wallace footnote.”
Each box contains approximately 100 mini bars.

Transparent Trade
We started Raaka because we knew there was a better way to make chocolate: from scratch. We use traceable, high quality, single origin, transparently sourced cacao to craft uncommonly delicious chocolate.
FAQs
What does unroasted mean?
Cacao beans are the seeds of the cacao fruit, harvested and prepared by producers at origin. Every bean has a flavor profile shaped by the soil and climate it grows in, as well as the care each producer takes in cultivating and processing it. This fruity flavor is often roasted away in favor of that classic chocolatey note. We love this fruit-forward flavor, and we make our chocolate without roasting so you can enjoy it too.
Is this chocolate vegan?
You bet. All our bars are 100% vegan. Some dark chocolates still contain milk powder, but ours do not. Instead, we make a couple vegan "milk style" bars with oats and coconut.
What does this chocolate taste like?
Every recipe we make is inspired by the unique flavors of whatever bean we’re working with. If you’re curious about a specific flavor, check out the flavor page and the reviews! If you still need help, feel free to email us.
How do you ship chocolate when it's hot outside?
Don't fret, we check the weather before mailing every order. If it's going to be hotter than 70 degrees, we use insulation and ice packs to ensure you receive your chocolate in perfect condition!
