A 70% dark chocolate from Chokaico, featuring Arriba Nacional cacao from Ecuador with red fruit, nut, and floral notes.
The Hacienda San Jose 70% is produced by Chokaico, a bean-to-bar maker based in Avon, Connecticut. This 50-gram bar highlights the Arriba Nacional bean variety, sourced specifically from the Babahoyo region in Ecuador.
The production process uses stone grinding to refine the texture. The cacao undergoes a fermentation period of 5 to 7 days in wooden boxes, followed by sun-drying on wooden beds. The finished chocolate consists of Arriba Nacional cacao beans, cane sugar, and cacao butter, excluding any lecithin, vanillin, or vegetable fats. The flavor profile features notes of red fruits, nuttiness, and floral characteristics.
The bar carries Fair Trade certification.
