Santa Marta 73% is a French bean-to-bar chocolate featuring Colombian cacao, noted for its distinct gingerbread and nougat flavor profile.
Barre Clandestine operates as an artisan bean-to-bar producer based in France. The company manages the chocolate making process from raw bean to finished bar, maintaining a focus on small-scale manufacturing and quality control for their 50-gram chocolate bars.
The Santa Marta 73% bar utilizes cocoa beans sourced from the Santa Marta region of Colombia. The process relies on stone grinding, which preserves the structural characteristics of the cacao. This specific bar is recognized for a profile featuring prominent notes of nougat and gingerbread.
The formulation is kept minimal, consisting of only two ingredients: cocoa beans and organic cane sugar. The quality of this production was recognized with a silver award at the Academy of Chocolate in 2024.
