Maker Comments | Rich, volcanic soil and up to 102 inches of annual rainfall make the Markham River Valley in eastern Papua New Guinea home to some of the most unique cacao in the world. Seasonal harvests from a single estate plantation are wood-box fermented for five days to develop complex flavors. Our light roast creates a delightful mix of acidic and tropical fruity notes with an ever-changing complexity. Days of stone grinding achieve a silky texture. The chocolate is heated, mixed and aerated -- this is conching. Our medium conche mellows some of this cacao's bold tropical character while leaving a distinctively sharp flavor.
