Butter Boom!

Baron Hasselhoff's is a boutique chocolate producer based in New Zealand, known for a playful and adventurous approach to flavor. They specialize in crafting bars that combine high-quality cacao with unique culinary inclusions. The Butter Boom! bar represents their commitment to creating memorable sensory experiences by merging Pacific-grown beans with artisanal techniques.

This 70 gram bar features a 44% cacao milk chocolate base, offering a more intense cocoa presence than traditional milk chocolates. The profile is defined by the significant addition of 13.5% brown butter, which creates a deep, nutty character. Infused with sea salt and notes of rich caramel, the bar achieves a complex balance of sweetness and savory depth, supported by a rich fat content and soy lecithin for a smooth, velvety melt.

The sourcing for this bar focuses on the Solomon Islands, a region celebrated for its robust and earthy cacao. This organic certified product demonstrates a high level of technical skill, earning a Gold award at the NZ Chocolate Awards in 2020. Its international standing was further solidified with a Silver award from the Academy of Chocolate in 2021, highlighting the brand's successful expansion into the specialty chocolate landscape.
