About Dark 84%
Coromandel Chocolate is a bean-to-bar maker based in New Zealand. This 80g bar is sourced from Malekula Island in Vanuatu, reflecting the regional output of the area.
This dark 84% chocolate is produced using a light roast and an extremely long conching/refining process (page wording). The result is a profile characterised by flavour notes of cherry, blackberry and citrus. The bar is made from cacao mass, cane sugar and added cocoa butter.
The chocolate contains no lecithin, vanilla, vanillin, PGPR or vegetable fats. It may contain traces of milk, macadamia, hazelnut, almond, peanut and gluten. It was awarded an Academy of Chocolate Bronze medal in 2024.
