TASTING NOTES
Off the charts sweetness and powdered cocoa on the nose. Followed by amazing cocoa andbutter at entry, midpalate is spot-on dark chocolate, but neither bitter nor semisweet, it’s a perfect balance.
PROCESS
The raw cacao is distilled and the distillate is then macerated with additional cacao and crushed whole vanilla bean. No color added.
SOURCE
The mixture of cacao from Venezuela with vanilla beans from Mexico, gives a depth of character and a rich natural brown color.
