Millésime - Dominican Republic - 76% dark chocolate (Organic)

This chocolate showcases the beautifully balanced flavour of cocoa from Öko-Caribe, with rich notes of cocoa and red fruits, enhanced by delightful hints of spicy coffee aromas.

The founders, Adriano de Jesus Rodriguez and Gualberto Acebey Torrejon, bring extensive experience in cocoa farming. Öko Caribe maintains strong relationships with 165 cocoa farmers in the Duarte province. Quality is their top priority, achieved through close collaboration with the farmers, which includes providing training on organic farming techniques, maintenance, and processing. The farmers have access to micro-credit and benefit from selling their crops at significantly higher prices due to the superior quality and organic premium. The cocoa trees flourish among bananas, avocados, oranges, and other tropical fruits. The beans undergo a careful fermentation process in wooden boxes, are then sun-dried, and finally hand-selected.

Thanks to the dedicated efforts of Gualberto and Adriano, exceptional beans are produced, with profound notes of cocoa and red fruit.
