Maker Comments | With deep, fertile soils, optimal temperatures and plenty of rainfall, the Duarte province's lush valley is the terroir for some of the best cacao in the country. About 165 small farmers sell their cacao to a centralized fermentation and drying facility that takes exquisite care with its processes. Having 50% cacao, this is a rich and creamy milk chocolate with flavors of toffee, caramel and rich cocoa. |
Comments | The front of the package claims 55% cacao, but the back description states 50%. Could be a hold-over from the previous text when the bar was 50% cacao. |
