Grove Thang is an award-winning 53% dark chocolate bar featuring a Pacific cacao blend, bright yuzu citrus, and creamy macadamias. A vegan delight.
Grove Thang stands out as a sophisticated exploration of Pacific terroir. This 53% dark chocolate bar captures the spirit of the region by sourcing its cacao directly from a unique blend of Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, and the Solomon Islands. It is a testament to the art of balancing delicate island ingredients with the structural intensity of high quality dark chocolate.
The sensory experience is defined by a vibrant interplay between the creamy, buttery texture of roasted macadamias and the sharp, aromatic zest of yuzu olive oil. The moderate 53% cacao content allows the inclusion of these botanicals to shine, creating a profile that feels both indulgent and refreshing. Its distinct character and composition earned it a Silver award at the 2021 Academy of Chocolate, highlighting its appeal to enthusiasts seeking nuanced, fruit-forward flavor profiles.
Commitment to inclusivity and quality is baked into the bar. As a strictly vegan creation, Grove Thang avoids dairy entirely, relying instead on the natural fat content of cocoa butter and macadamias to provide a velvety mouthfeel. It is a thoughtful example of how plant-based ingredients can be curated to create a premium, award-winning chocolate experience.
