About

Esmeraldas 85%

Produced by the artisan maker Chocolate Tree, the Esmeraldas 85% bar represents a focused approach to single-origin chocolate. The beans are sourced exclusively from the Mache Chindul ecological reserve located within the Esmeraldas region of Ecuador.

This bar utilizes the Arriba Nacional variety, characterized by a specific flavor profile featuring walnut and floral notes. The production process prioritizes preservation of these characteristics through a 5-day fermentation period followed by sun drying on wooden racks. Refining is conducted in a melanger to achieve the final texture, using a simple composition of organic cocoa beans, organic cane sugar, and organic cocoa butter.

The bar adheres to certified organic standards, reflecting the sourcing practices employed by the maker for this origin. Each bar is presented in a 40-gram format, emphasizing the focused nature of the harvest from the Ecuadorian reserve.
