Baianí Chocolate Intenso 70% is a Brazilian tree-to-bar dark chocolate made with Parazinho cacao, featuring notes of citrus, nuts, and cocoa.
Baianí is a producer based in Bahia, Brazil, that operates under a tree-to-bar model at their own farm, Fazenda Potumuju. By maintaining complete control over the process, they manage the entire lifecycle of the cacao from planting to the finished bar. This approach highlights the specific characteristics of the Vale Potumuju region, known for its distinct agricultural heritage.
The Chocolate Intenso 70% highlights the Parazinho variety of cacao. The post-harvest process begins in the field, where beans are fermented in wooden boxes before being sun-dried on traditional wooden platforms known as barcaças. This careful handling results in a flavor profile characterized by bright citrus, nutty undertones, and a classic cocoa foundation. The bar is crafted from a simple composition of cocoa beans, organic crystal sugar, and added cocoa butter.
The work performed at Fazenda Potumuju has received international recognition. Baianí has secured multiple honors, including medals from the International Chocolate Awards and the Academy of Chocolate, acknowledging their technical execution and consistency in producing quality cacao products.
