75% Arriba Nacional, Ecuador

Crafted with passion. We work with single estate raw cacao and stone ground the beans for at least 72 hours. Then we sweeten the chocolate with unrefined coconut sugar. Manabi, Ecuador is located in a mountain range of wild forest where the Arriba Nacional bean originates. Genetically unique, the cacao is produced in an agroforestry setting with rich, healthy soils. The farmers are paid a premium with direct trading. Flavour notes: a blend of dark fruit, deep molasses, and oaky notes. This bar is sweeter than our usual Cococaravan bean to bar and the caramel flavour of the coconut sugar complements the character of the cacao superbly. Enjoy. Ingredients: Un roasted cacao beans (75%), evaporated coconut nectar 60 g Ingredients: Cacao beans, coconut sugar, cacao butter (cocoa solids 75% minimum)
