Vietnam - Dak Lak 70%
Reminds Us Of: Pink Grapefruit, Marshmallow Creme, A Warm Summer Carnival
Nestled in the heart of Vietnam's Central Highlands, the Dak Lak Province is home to some of the country's finest cacao. Our Dak Lak 70% chocolate bar captures the unique terroir of this region, offering a sensory journey through its lush landscapes and vibrant culture.
This exceptional chocolate is crafted exclusively from Trinitario cacao, a variety known for its complex flavor profile and fine aroma. The beans are cultivated at elevations ranging from 500 to 1,500 meters, where the cool mountain air and rich soil contribute to the development of their distinctive characteristics.
The cacao undergoes two harvest seasons: the primary season from November to February, and a secondary season from April to June. This dual harvest allows for optimal selection of beans at the peak of ripeness, ensuring consistently high quality.
After harvesting, the beans are brought to a central fermentary where they undergo a carefully controlled fermentation process in wooden boxes. This method, combined with the subsequent drying on above-ground plastic mesh, helps to develop the beans' full flavor potential while maintaining their delicate nuances.
The resulting 70% dark chocolate bar is a testament to the skill of both farmers and chocolate makers. It opens with bright, zesty notes of pink grapefruit, perfectly balanced by the sweet, creamy essence of marshmallow creme. This interplay of flavors creates a sensory experience reminiscent of a warm summer carnival - joyful, exciting, and utterly indulgent.
Each piece of this chocolate tells a story of the Dak Lak Province - its rolling hills, its hardworking farmers, and its rich cacao tradition. It's more than just a treat; it's an exploration of one of Vietnam's most promising cacao-growing regions.
Whether you're a chocolate connoisseur seeking new flavor horizons or simply looking for a moment of pure pleasure, our Vietnam - Dak Lak 70% chocolate offers a unique and unforgettable tasting experience. Let it transport you to the storied highlands of central Vietnam with every bite.
