Dandelion Chocolate, an artisan bean-to-bar maker based in San Francisco, brings a meticulous approach to the Zorzal Comunitario 70%. This bar is a pure expression of origin, crafted from Trinitario cacao beans harvested from the protected Reserva Zorzal region in the Dominican Republic. The sanctuary nature of this region, which doubles as a bird reserve, reflects the brand's commitment to high-quality sourcing and environmental consciousness.
The flavor profile is remarkably nuanced, reminiscent of an indulgent dessert. On the palate, expect distinct notes of kirsch-soaked cherry and a creamy, tangy hint of sour cream, rounding out into the comforting finish of chocolate chiffon cake. This sensory complexity is the result of a rigorous post-harvest protocol, which utilizes a four-tiered boxed fermentation process and gentle drying on raised mesh beds inside a specialized greenhouse.
True to the minimalist philosophy of Dandelion Chocolate, this bar relies on a clean, two-ingredient recipe consisting solely of cocoa beans and organic cane sugar. By focusing on the essential elements of the bean, the maker allows the terroir of the Dominican soil to shine through. The finished product is inclusive for many dietary lifestyles, maintaining certifications for being vegan, kosher, and gluten-free.
