Release 01 — Available online
A balanced 25 g dark chocolate bar with a touch of sea salt, sized for hikes, road trips, and everyday treats.
The place
Crater Lake fills the caldera left when Mount Mazama erupted and collapsed about 7,700 years ago. Fed by rain and snow, its remarkable depth and clarity give the lake its intense blue color.
Field notes
The illustration brings together three details from the landscape surrounding this Explorer Series release.
The lake
Formed within Mount Mazama’s caldera after its collapse about 7,700 years ago, Crater Lake reaches 1,943 feet (592 m), making it the deepest lake in the United States. Rain and snow feed the lake; evaporation and seepage balance its water level.
Learn moreThe wildlife
The Douglas squirrel (Tamiasciurus douglasii) lives year-round in Pacific Northwest conifer forests. It stores cones in middens and spreads fungal spores and forgotten seeds that help support forest health.
Learn moreThe forest
Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) is not a true fir; its genus name means “false hemlock.” Designated Oregon’s state tree in 1939, it is one of the defining conifers of Pacific Northwest forests.
Learn moreMore about Sea Salt
A touch of sea salt draws out the bar’s bold cacao character, pairing a smooth, deeply chocolate-forward profile with subtle savory notes and a refined salty finish.
Crafted in Portland with ethically sourced cacao and clean ingredients, the 25 g bar is easy to pack for a hike, trail adventure, road trip, or everyday treat.
Taste the exploration
From the deep blue of Crater Lake, the Explorer Series travels to the Alps — and a milk chocolate remembered for its creamy, caramel-like character.
