About Peru 49% Salty Caramel
Chocolate Makers is a bean-to-bar producer based in the Netherlands. They source their Criollo cacao beans from the Awajún community in Peru. The beans are transported to the Netherlands by sailing ship before processing begins.
This 49% milk chocolate features a light roast and displays flavour notes of powerful cocoa, caramel, and sea salt. The texture is influenced by the inclusion of 10% caramel pieces and 0.3% sea salt. The beans undergo a post-harvest protocol involving 120 hours of box fermentation followed by sun drying.
The bar is certified Organic and Fairtrade. It uses dairy milk, sugar, and cocoa butter, and contains sunflower lecithin as an emulsifier. The recipe contains no vanilla, vanillin, PGPR, or vegetable fats.
