Maker Comments | The 225 Story: This Organic and Fair Trade cacao is from the Bellavista cooperative along the Rio Huallaga in the San Martin Region of central Peru. Its flavor complexity is among the most interesting we have encountered. Notes of red fruit and banana are enhanced by naturally occurring tannins, resulting in a complex array of flavors. Our light roast develops notes of berries and green banana. Days of stone grinding achieve a silky texture. The chocolate is heated, mixed and aerated--this is conching. Our medium conche refines an array of fruity and floral notes with an underlying chocolaty finish. Compare 225 with recipe 226 to experience how roasting levels dramatically change chocolate flavors.
