Francisco Sakaguchi 75%

The Francisco Sakaguchi 75% is a single origin dark chocolate crafted by Dormouse Chocolates. This small batch producer operates as a bean-to-bar maker, focusing on precise control throughout the production process to highlight the specific qualities of the chosen harvest. The cacao for this specific bar is sourced from the Tomé-Açú region of Brazil, a location noted for its distinct agricultural heritage.

The sensory profile of this bar reflects the characteristics of its Brazilian origin. It presents floral notes of rose paired with the bright, fruity essence of lychee. The texture and structure are achieved through a minimalist ingredient list consisting only of cocoa beans, sugar, and cocoa butter. This approach allows the inherent qualities of the Tomé-Açú beans to remain the primary focus for the palate.

Dormouse Chocolates maintains a production style that is suitable for vegan diets. While the ingredients themselves are plant-based, the manufacturing environment processes milk, nuts, and gluten. Each bar is presented in a 70 gram format, containing 582 kcal per 100 grams, reflecting the natural caloric density of high-percentage dark chocolate.
