Pineapple 70%

Auserman is an Ecuadorian bean-to-bar chocolate maker. The company oversees its production from the raw cocoa stage, maintaining control over the entire manufacturing process within Ecuador.

This 70% dark chocolate bar is defined by its inclusion of freeze-dried pineapple, which provides a fruit-forward contrast to the dark cacao. The production utilizes a specific fermentation and drying protocol to manage the cocoa beans before they are refined with sugar into their final 60-gram bar format.

The focus of this bar remains on the interplay between the sweetness of the sugar, the intensity of the dark chocolate, and the tart bite of the added pineapple pieces. By performing the full production in Ecuador, the maker bridges the gap between local agricultural output and finished confectionery.
