Rating: 5 (2 reviews)

Castronovo is an artisan chocolate maker based in Stuart, Florida. This 70% cacao bar represents their focus on single-origin identity, specifically highlighting the cacao harvested from the Hacienda JeanMarie Chocolat farm in Puerto Rico.

The sensory profile of this bar is defined by a grounded sweetness and fruit acidity. Tasting reveals prominent notes of date, vanilla, and sour cherry, rounded out by a nutty finish reminiscent of pecan. These flavors arise from careful roasting and processing of the raw ingredients, which consist only of cocoa beans, organic cane sugar, and organic cocoa butter.

The dedication to specific regional sourcing has earned industry recognition, including a Bronze medal at the 2024 International Chocolate Awards Americas. The finished bar comes in a 62-gram format.
