Maker Comments | Ecuador 60 (Manabi): The province of Manabi is located on the Pacific coast in one of the most beautiful areas in Ecuador; cocoa farming has had a long tradition here. In spite of this, the farmers are poor because the cocoa merchants have never paid them fair prices. Fortunately, this has changed for the farmers on the Fortaleza Del Valle cooperative. Now, their children are able to go to school and their families' basic needs are ensured. We roast the cocoa extensively at a relatively low temperature in order to bring out even the very last and finest flavours. The Cacao National from Manabi combined with 40% sugar results in plenty of flavour with a flowery accent.
Nicaragua 80 (Horizont Cuvée): Horizont Cuvée is dedicated to the development organisation Horizont 3000 that takes care of our cocoa projects in Nicaragua. I have to thank this organization because they have guided me to the most remote areas of Nicaragua for many years. Cocoa is a tradition in Nicaragua. We obtain the best cocoa from three different cooperatives in Nicaragua, a country that still bears the scars of civil war. Extensively roasted at 132°C, classically rolled and conched, this cocoa ENRICHES this 80-percent chocolate. |
