Tanzania 75%

Produced by Bahen & Co, an Australian bean-to-bar maker operating out of the Margaret River region, the Tanzania 75% represents a minimalist approach to chocolate making. The bar weighs 75 grams and is crafted with a short ingredient list consisting solely of cocoa beans and organic raw sugar.

The cacao is sourced from the Kilombero Valley in Tanzania, a region known for its specific characteristics. During the production process, the chocolate is refined using a melanger, which allows the maker to control the texture and preserve the inherent flavor notes of the bean. This results in a dark chocolate profile defined by distinct hints of strawberry and red cherry, finished with a subtle bread and butter tone.

Bahen & Co focuses on the direct relationship with the source of their raw materials. By working with specific growing regions, the maker maintains transparency regarding the origin of their harvest. The final bar highlights the natural nuances of the Kilombero beans through a traditional production method that prioritizes the raw input of the cocoa.
