Hacienda Victoria 85%
Essenzo Cacao is a bean-to-bar producer based in Galicia, Spain. The maker focuses on small-batch production, overseeing the transformation from raw cacao beans into finished bars within their workshop. Their approach emphasizes minimal processing to maintain the characteristics of the source material.
The Hacienda Victoria 85% bar highlights the Arriba Nacional bean variety sourced directly from the Guayas region of Ecuador. The inclusion of only cacao beans and cane sugar allows the intrinsic qualities of these beans to take precedence. The sensory experience is defined by clear nutty and caramel tones, rounded off by a distinct biscuit character.
The quality and specific profile of this bar were recognized with a Bronze medal at the 2022 International Chocolate Awards within the European category. Each bar is presented in an 80 gram format, reflecting the maker's commitment to consistent, artisanal standards.
