| Maker Comments | Located near the coastal town of Muisne, Costa Esmeraldas is entirely owned and managed by the Salazar family. This single estate farm was established on reclaimed land and is planted with approximately 100 hectares of 5-year old Nacional hybrid cacao. This bar is the result of a new fermentation and drying project from award-winning cacao expert Daniel O'Doherty of Cacao Services. The color is striking for a 70% dark chocolate, but belies its mild flavor. Enjoy. Tasting notes: nutty, floral. |
