A 58% dark chocolate bar from Askinosie, featuring Tanzanian Trinitario cacao infused with cooling peppermint and aromatic cardamom.
Stockists worldwide.
Produced by Askinosie, based in Springfield, Missouri, the Mababu Peppermint bar represents a bean-to-bar approach that emphasizes transparency and direct relationships with farmers. The maker oversees the processing of Trinitario cacao sourced directly from the Mababu region of Tanzania, where beans are fermented in boxes and dried on raised beds to ensure quality before roasting.
This 58% cacao bar moves away from standard dark chocolate profiles by incorporating botanical layers. The inclusion of peppermint oil provides a sharp, refreshing lift, while the addition of cardamom introduces an earthy, spicy warmth. The texture is shaped by the use of both cane and turbinado sugars, which contribute to a specific sweetness that complements the botanical inclusions without masking the underlying characteristics of the Tanzanian beans.
The bar adheres to specific dietary standards, holding certifications as Kosher, Vegan, and Gluten Free. Its recognition within the industry is marked by a silver award at the 2020 International Chocolate Awards and a bronze medal at the 2019 Academy of Chocolate. The finished bar has a net weight of 85 grams.
