 New chocolate origin launching today!
We sourced this cacao from the Dak Lak province in central Vietnam. This province is rich agricultural area with coffee and fruit being some of the largest crops. The province is named after the very large “Lak” lake. We used this beautiful cacao to craft a bold 72% chocolate. The taste begins with chocolate flavor with distinct fruit notes of cherry and pineapple. After melting in our mouth, it transforms into the flavors of baking spices (Vietnamese cinnamon, nutmeg, etc...) and finishes with a little bit of acidity to get you ready for the next bite.

Dak Lak 90 is our Single Origin Dak Lak; Vietnam plain chocolate a portion of it is darker with 90% cacao, for those who desire to enjoy the integrity of cacao with only a sign of sweetness. Our darker bars are dark but not bitter like the saleable chocolates you may discover in the supermarkets. Since commercial chocolate requires tasting the similar every time, they blend and burn the cacao beans while roasting so that the flavor is stable. But this extreme roast brings out all the bitterness of the cacao and kills the slight notes, leaving you with a disagreeable bitter aftertaste and no substance. The dark chocolates are enjoyed a bit unusually than the sweeter ones, take a small piece and allow it melt on the tongue to take in all the fine notes and aromas. Leave a Reply. |
