Maker Comments | Deep and broodingly powerful, this chocolate appears under a veil of respect. The older brother of La Pepiniere, you can expect a couverture that hints of antique oak and roasted cocoa, developing bold notes of burnt caramel with a peppery long finish.
Short story: Not just single origin (from one country), or even single estate, we've gone deeper into the world of cocoa and produced single côte. From our own plantation in Soufriere, Saint Lucia, the cocoa has been kept separate as it is picked and fermented from each côte (terroir section) within the estate. This particular côte, Marcial, is a beautiful part of the estate near the Rabor lake, with a mix of grizzled 80-100 year-old trees and fresh new trees planted as seedlings, all bearing the rare Trinitario bean unique to the Rabot Estate. |
Comments | DLA: This bar is interesting. I rated it lower, but the flavor kept developing on me. It was good, then it got even better! |
