About

Single Estate 76%

Produced by AO Cacao in Aotearoa, New Zealand, the Single Estate 76% represents an artisanal approach to bean-to-bar chocolate. The maker focuses on showcasing the specific characteristics of the Tuana'i region in Samoa by maintaining a transparent link between the harvest and the finished bar.

The foundation of this bar is the Trinitario cacao variety, which undergoes a 5-day box fermentation followed by sun-drying. AO Cacao utilizes a melanger for the refining process, pairing this with a light roast profile to preserve the natural character of the beans. The resulting profile presents distinct notes of guava, raisin, and biscuit.

This bar is crafted from a concise list of organic ingredients, specifically organic cacao beans, organic cane sugar, and organic cocoa butter. The commitment to quality and process was recognized with a Gold Medal at the NZ Chocolate Awards in 2022.
