Get to Know a Vendor: Taza Chocolate

The  has it all: food, drink, and produce from all over the Boston area. But with so many vendors out there, it can get hard to keep track. Luckily, we're here to help, with our new feature "Get to Know a Vendor."

Every Tuesday morning through the end of the LFM's season, we'll profile one vendor appearing at the market that week. Be sure to let us know your thoughts or suggestions in the comments, and maybe your favorite vendor will be our next subject.

Name: Taza Chocolate

What they Sell: Organic chocolate bars and cacao "nibs", small pieces of roasted cocoa beans.

The Scoop: Taza Chocolate sells a variety of organic chocolate goods all stone ground from organic ingredients in their factory in nearby Somerville.

On display at the Market are the disk-shaped "Chocolate Mexicano" bars, which have a striking grainy texture, and unlike pretty much every mass produced chocolate out there, are dairy free.

"Chocolate doesn't need milk. In lots of chocolate milk's just a filler," said Rayna Oliker, who operates the Taza stand.

Chocolate lovers can try exciting flavors of Chocolate Mexico like Salt and Pepper and Chipotle Chili. And if you become a fan, Taza offers tours of their chocolate factory in Somerville's Union Square, where those curious can watch the chocolate-making process from start to finish.
