Maker Comments | We roast, crack, sort, winnow, grind, conch, and temper small batches of beans. Then we mold and wrap each of our bars by hand. By sourcing high-quality cacao and carefully crafting small batches of chocolate, we strive to bring out the individual nuances of each bean. Zorzal cacao grows in a Dominican wildlife reserve cofounded by Charles Kerchner, PhD. Maverick was excited to work with beans that serve to protect the endangered songbird, Bicknell's Thrush. In this bar, we taste notes of walnut, caramel, and brandied cherry. |
