| Maker Comments | Arauca is a department of Colombia shaped by the Casanare and Meta rivers and located in the extreme north of the Orinoco region, bordering Venezuela. The rich soils of this region nourishes the cultivation of crops such as fine flavour cacao, banana, cassava, rice, corn, sesame and many fruit trees. The trinitario hybrid cocoa beans grown in Arauca have retained many traits of the elusive original Criollo, the holy grail of cacao. This chocolate commences with modest hints of chestnut and honey before showing off bursts of red fruit notes. The citric fireworks vanish and leave in the mouth a rounded taste of chocolate that is harmoniously intense and delicate. At Artisan du Chocolat, almost all our bars are produced from ground beans, conched and refined in Kent. This bar however is proudly produced in Bogota by Casa Luker. By selling a higher value added product, this family-owned Colombian company is able to invest in supporting the cocoa growing families, which fosters the long-term sustainable cultivation of fine flavour cacao. |
