Pastelinho de Goiás

The Pastelinho de Goiás bar is a creation from C'alma, an artisan bean-to-bar producer based in Brazil. Operating under the philosophy of 'Do grão à barra,' the maker focuses on transforming raw cocoa into finished bars within their own facility. This specific release is a cultural homage to the Goiás region, aiming to capture the essence of a local traditional pastry.

As a 54% cacao dark chocolate, this bar incorporates whole milk powder and cocoa butter to achieve a creamy texture. The inclusion of cinnamon and actual pieces of pastelinho creates a distinct flavor profile characterized by notes of dulce de leche and baked pastry. The formulation balances the intensity of the cocoa with these spiced, dessert-like additions, resulting in a profile recognized with a Bronze award at the International Chocolate Awards Americas 2021-22.

C'alma sources ingredients with attention to the specific heritage of their region, integrating organic sugar and refined botanical elements like cinnamon. The 60-gram bar highlights the intersection of modern bean-to-bar craftsmanship and traditional Brazilian confectionery, maintaining a commitment to small-batch production.
