About Choroni 72% Candied Iyokan Peel
The Choroni 72% Candied Iyokan Peel bar is created by the Hungarian producer chocoMe. Operating from Budapest, the maker features an Atelier division dedicated to high-end confectionery design and detailed ingredient selection. This specific bar highlights cacao sourced from the Hacienda La Sabaneta farm lot located in the Aragua region of Venezuela.
The bar utilizes a blend of Criollo Puro and Trinitario Acriollado cacao varieties at a 72% concentration. This foundational base is paired with candied Iyokan peel, a Japanese citrus fruit that introduces distinct aromatic layers. The resulting sensory experience presents notes of pink grapefruit, passion fruit, lemongrass, and chamomile. The quality of this composition has been recognized with Bronze awards from the Academy of Chocolate and the International Chocolate Awards in 2025.
The ingredient list is minimal, centering on the integration of the Venezuelan cocoa beans with the candied citrus. The inclusion of Iyokan peel, glucose syrup, and vitamin C serves to preserve the brightness of the fruit elements, allowing the natural acidity of the cacao to balance the sweetness of the candied peel. This approach reflects the focus on technical precision found within the chocoMe Atelier lineup.
