From Bird Sanctuary to Chocolate Bar: This exceptional 70% dark chocolate comes from Reserva Zorzal, a protected bird sanctuary in the Dominican Republic where cacao grows under the forest canopy alongside the endangered Bicknell's Thrush. By sourcing from this unique organization, we support both exceptional chocolate and conservation efforts.
Tasting Notes: Bright, fruity, and wonderfully complex with notes of apricot and honey. The shade-grown cacao from Zorzal's biodiverse environment develops flavors you simply can't find in plantation-grown beans. Our bean-to-bar process preserves these delicate notes through careful roasting and refining in our Almonte factory.
Bean-to-Bar Meets Conservation: This is single-origin chocolate that tells a story—from farmers protecting endangered birds to our small-batch roasting process. Every bar supports sustainable farming practices that preserve habitat while producing world-class cacao.
Pure Ingredients: Ethically sourced cacao beans from Reserva Zorzal (Dominican Republic), organic cane sugar, and cocoa butter. Vegan, soy-free, and gluten-free.

Story
Zorzal (Bicknell’s Thrush)
A lovely, rare songbird native to Ontario, Québec & the Maritimes, the Zorzal is threatened with extinction. In the Zorzal’s winter home in northern Dominican Republic, conservationists and investors are determined to fight for the bird. They’ve created a 300 ha biodiversity sanctuary in the northern highlands to safeguard the bird’s habitat. As sustainably grown cacao (used to make this very bar) supports the sanctuary, we’ll hear the Zorzal’s song for a long time to come.

Makes your heart sing! Smooth like honey with hints of fresh apricot and pecan.

Like all of Hummingbird's single origin bars, Zorzal is a unique, top-of-the-line product. Since these chocolates are a daily treat in my case (and, no, I am not diabetic), I buy these in batches to ensure a ready supply.

Fruity and vibrant.
Hummingbird chocolate has ruined me. Since getting into it I can’t have any other chocolate.
Zorzal isn’t as bitter as most other darks it also for me has strong fruity notes.
