Maker Comments | Ecuador 73% Camino Verde (2012 Harvest): In Balao, Ecuador, Vincente Norero treats his elderly trees with great care and at close to 100 years old, they continue to yield beans. Trees of this ago produce beans with about 15% less cocoa butter, resulting in an exceptional and considerably more intense cocoa flavour. Tasting notes: Intense chocolate, nuts, raisin.
Madagascar 73% Somia Plantation (2012 Harvest): In the Sambirano Valley of Northern Madagascar, the Akesson family harvest a bean enriched with volcanic minerals and nutrients. With its strong, fruity flavours, including hints of citrus and berry, this cacao is clearly a product of climate, soil and the dedication of a family who truly cares about chocolate. Tasting notes: Bright fruits, lime, orange, red raspberry. |
