Sensory Description:

Fresh peppermint leads with a cool, clean intensity, followed by aromatic notes of evergreen and forest herbs from the Douglas-fir extract. The center is smooth and yielding, contrasting with the firmer snap of the dark chocolate shell. Bittersweet cacao provides depth and structure, while the botanical character adds a resinous, gently citrus-like lift. The finish is cool and persistent, settling into dark cocoa, mint, and a subtle coniferous note.

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 handles its chocolate production from cacao roasting through final packaging at its own facility, maintaining control over flavor and texture throughout the process. With Domurot serving as Founder, CEO, and Head Chocolate Maker, the company produces single-origin bars, classic chocolate styles, caramels, truffles, and confections that frequently draw inspiration from ingredients and collaborations rooted in the Pacific Northwest.
