Do go and visit this site! Dagoba is a family owned company dedicated to the making of organic chocolate with a commitment to sustainable practices for the production and manufacture of the cocoa.

There are lots of delicious looking chocolates available most of which seems to be dark chocolate. They offer dark chocolate bars infused with lime, mint, lavendar, and many more flavors plus single origin varietals (also dark chocolate). All of the chocolate is certified organic.

A very nice feature of the Dagoba chocolate website is the provision of detailed nutrition and ingredient information for each of their products!

I am including a recipe for Frozen Hot Chocolate from one of Dagoba’s newsletters. Doesn’t it sound good? Just right for the heat we are experiencing where I live. Go visit this site! It’s well laid out out with gorgeous photos and lots of great information and products.
