Björnsted Ecuador Chocolate consists of 70 percent cocoa, and is manufactured in the German town of Herford, which is located in the Western part of Germany.
The product is made in the chocolate factory of “Eco Finia”.
Björnsted is a new chocolate brand and available since just one or two years. The special thing about the chocolate is that the ingredients are only taken from the best sources.
At first you experience a bitter sweet chocolate. After you take your first bite, the chocolate evolves its unique flavour and taste. The reason of such kind of special flavour is a very rare cocoa bean called “Arriba”.
This kind of cocoa bean was imported from the South American country of Ecuador. Ecuadorian farmers plant such cocoa beans under strict ecological requirements. This “Arriba” cocoa bean counts to one of the best cocoa beans in the world. You are going to taste that in the chocolate. Extremely tasty.
I bought this chocolate, bjoernsted, ecuador, in Germany two years ago and thought it was one of the best chocolates I ever tasted.
I do live in Seattle, WA USA right now and am wondering if it is available somewhere in a store or could I order it over the internet. An answer would be appreciated.

You can get Bjornsted chocolate in Victoria BC, Canada at Country Grocer and some other grocery stores. I have never seen the Ecuador type but a few of the others are available. I have not seen it in Vancouver BC or in the States but do not visit those places often.
good luck
