About Batch No 18 80%
Argencove operates as a tree-to-bar chocolate maker, managing the process from the initial harvest to the finished product. Based in Nicaragua, the producer focuses on the specific output of their own groves to ensure quality control over the final bar. This Batch No 18 80% represents a specific iteration of their work with high-cacao dark chocolate.
The composition of this 23-gram bar is kept minimal, relying on a blend of cacao, cane sugar, and added cacao butter. In terms of sensory profile, the 80% cacao content provides a robust foundation for the primary flavor notes of apricot and citrus.
As a tree-to-bar producer, Argencove maintains a closed-loop system where the cultivation of the cacao trees and the production of the chocolate occur within the same operational framework. This model allows for transparency regarding the origin of the beans and the handling of the product at every stage before it reaches the finished form.
