Maker Comments | Profile: grapefruit, apricot, rye bread. La Masica is a farm operated by Fundación Hondureña de Investigación Agícola (FHIA), a nonprofit agricultural organization in Honduras. The farm functions primarily as a gene bank for the surrounding area and a research center with some small commercial production. Recently, Dan O'Doherty, a cacao expert based in Hawaii, partnered with the La Masica team to improve the farm's post-harvest processing, thereby doubling the price the cacao demands. The result of this collaboration speaks for itself. The raw material is beautifully processed. The flavor is a deep, complex mix of citrus, floral fruit, spicy dark rye break, and chocolate base flavors. This bar was made possible by the generous engagement of our loyal customers, whose pre-orders helped raise funds for buying the beans and packaging. We hope you enjoy it. |
