Nicaragua Raan Comucor 70%

The Nicaragua Raan Comucor 70% is a signature creation from the Belgian bean-to-bar maker Chocolatoa. Situated in the heart of Belgium, a country synonymous with chocolate excellence, this maker operates on an artisanal scale. Their approach is defined by a deep respect for the raw material, transforming high-quality harvests into nuanced bars that showcase the unique characteristics of specific micro-lots.

This dark chocolate bar is crafted from a sophisticated blend of Trinitario and Acriollado cocoa beans. The process begins with a meticulous fermentation of 6 to 7 days in wooden boxes, followed by sun-drying on wooden tables to lock in the bean's integrity. Once in the factory, the ingredients of cocoa beans, cane sugar, and cocoa butter are refined using a melanger. This careful mechanical process allows the chocolate to develop a balanced texture that highlights a flavor profile of deep wood, sweet honey, and toasted hazelnuts.

Chocolatoa's dedication to the craft has earned them notable acclaim within the specialty chocolate community. The Nicaragua Raan Comucor 70% has been recognized for its quality and flavor profile by both the International Chocolate Awards and the Academy of Chocolate. By maintaining a transparent and intentional manufacturing process, they provide a focused experience that highlights the distinct terroir of Nicaraguan cacao.
