A 72% dark chocolate bar from Fossa, featuring Ugandan cacao from the Semuliki Forest with notes of orange peel, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Produced by the artisan maker Fossa, this bar highlights the distinct cacao grown in the Semuliki Forest of Uganda. Fossa operates as a bean-to-bar maker, focusing on small-batch production that emphasizes the character of the origin.
The flavor profile is characterized by bright notes of orange peel, balanced by the sweetness of brown sugar and a subtle warmth of cinnamon. The cacao beans undergo a careful protocol, utilizing a central fermentary followed by traditional sun-drying, which ensures consistency in the raw material before it is processed into the finished 72% bar. The ingredient list remains straightforward, consisting only of cacao beans, cane sugar, and cocoa butter.
This bar has earned recognition from several industry institutions, including the International Chocolate Awards and the Academy of Chocolate. The attention to the post-harvest process in the Semuliki Forest contributes to the final profile that judges have identified in these competitions.
