| Maker Comments | We roast, crack, sort, winnow, grind, conch, and temper small batches of beans. Then we mold and package each of our bars by hand. By sourcing high-quality cacao and carefully crafting tiny batches of chocolate, we can bring out the individual nuances of each bean. We're excited to share this bar as it shook our perception of what chocolate could taste like. The bean's natural jamminess combines with the smoky flavor from Papua New Guinea's technique of fire-drying to give it a bold, Southeastern-style barbecue tang. Its fruity notes give way to an earthy, leathery finish. |
