Blueberry

Alluvia is a bean-to-bar producer based in the Mekong Delta region of Vietnam. Operating at a scale that allows for close oversight, the maker processes its cocoa directly in the country of origin. This allows the producer to maintain a direct connection to the harvest, ensuring the characteristics of the local crop are captured in the final product.

The Blueberry bar is a dark chocolate style that incorporates dried fruit alongside cocoa beans, sugar, and additional cocoa butter. The production process relies on a documented protocol for fermentation and drying to prepare the beans, followed by refining in a melanger. This technique produces a texture that supports the natural flavors of the Mekong Delta cocoa while integrating the sweetness and acidity of the fruit inclusions.

By sourcing directly from the Mekong Delta, the producer focuses on regional transparency. The 80-gram bar highlights the intersection of local Vietnamese cocoa and fruit, maintaining a straightforward ingredient list that favors the quality of the raw materials over additives.
