About
Special Blend 88%
Special Blend 88% is produced by Baianí, a tree-to-bar maker based in Brazil. Operating as a tree-to-bar entity allows the maker to control the process from the harvest on their own land to the final tempering of the bar. The cacao originates from the Fazenda Santa Rita, located within the Vale Potumuju region of Bahia.
This high-percentage bar focuses on the clarity of its ingredients, which are limited to single origin cacao beans, organic cane sugar, and added cocoa butter. The result is a profile dominated by pure cacao, which gives way to secondary nuances of dried fruit and a subtle, characteristic hint of banana. The bar was recognized with a Bronze award from the Academy of Chocolate in 2020.
The production process prioritizes the expression of the Brazilian terroir found in the Vale Potumuju. While the composition is straightforward, consumers should note that the manufacturing environment processes other ingredients, meaning the bar may contain traces of tree nuts and milk.
