Sensory Description:

Roasted pecans provide a crisp, buttery foundation beneath smooth honey caramel and deeply flavored dark chocolate. The caramel brings a supple texture and rounded sweetness, while the chocolate adds firm cacao intensity and a gently bittersweet frame. Jacobsen Flake Sea Salt sharpens the contrast between nut, caramel, and chocolate, leaving a balanced finish of toasted pecan, dark cocoa, honeyed sweetness, and clean salinity.

Producer’s Background:

George Domurot and David Beanland founded Ranger Chocolate Co. in Portland in 2013, establishing the company as one of the city’s early bean-to-bar chocolate makers. Ranger produces chocolate from cacao roasting through final packaging at its own facility and sources cacao through verified channels supporting organic, fair-trade, sustainable, or higher sourcing standards. With Domurot serving as founder and Head Chocolate Maker, the company applies its chocolate-making experience to single-origin bars, classic chocolate styles, caramels, bonbons, and other confections.

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve: Enjoy at cool room temperature so the caramel remains soft and the dark chocolate shows its full aroma.
• Pairings: Serve with coffee, espresso, black tea, aged rum, bourbon, tawny port, or a dark non-alcoholic spirit.
• Dessert Board: Arrange with dried cherries, fresh pear, roasted nuts, and firm aged cheese.
• Gifting: Add to holiday assortments, dessert boxes, party favors, or shared confectionery platters.
• Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct heat and sunlight.
