Dark Chocolate: Conching time: 20 hrs.

A chattering bird builds no nest" — this well-known African proverb from Uganda signifies that development and success require active action. Fairtrade fine flavor cocoa embodies this philosophy, closely linked to booming African cocoa excellence. For the first time, all five cocoa origins in our new vintage cuvée hail from Africa: Madagascar, Tanzania, Uganda, Togo, and Ghana. The aromatic result of this blend is sensationally fruity and mild. Interestingly, notable differences emerge between the chocolate's aroma and taste: it exudes scents of plum jam and grapes, with hints of marzipan and gingerbread. On the palate, discover an exotic fruit medley of pineapple and citrus fruits, complemented by secondary notes of butter and subtle umami spice accents that enhance its distinct exotic character. And then you experience a super mild aftertaste of a buttery pretzel croissant with woody undertones, harmoniously balanced with a gentle roast.

Fragrance notes: Plum jam, grapes, marzipan, gingerbread
Taste notes: Pineapple, citrus fruits, butter croissant, umami spices

Dominican Republic Dark Chocolate 62%

Conching time: 16 hrs.

A sweet, dark single-origin chocolate created with cacao from Zorzal in the Dominican Republic. Our connection to Zorzal is the belief that great things can come from chocolate. Zorzal is the first private bird sanctuary in the Dominican Republic. The nature reserve extends over 412 hectares of land, and 70% of that has been designated to remain wild rainforest. The cacao is grown and harvested directly within this nature reserve. And Zorzal also cooperates with neighboring farmers who are actively included in the project and supply their own cacao. As a result, cacao is an ideal conservation tool: it thrives as a mixed crop and is traditionally well suited to wild harvesting. Enjoy this first-rate Caribbean island cacao which we turn into delicious dark chocolate with a 62% cacao content. A sweet treat that protects Mother Nature.

Fragrance notes: nutty caramel

Taste notes: very mild and sweet, chocolatey with notes of walnut, caramel, and pickled cherries
