Brand: Foundry
Rating: 5 (1 reviews)

Foundry is a dedicated bean to bar maker based in New Zealand, renowned for their minimalist approach to chocolate craft. This specific bar showcases the Anamalai Estate in India, a region celebrated for producing high quality cacao that highlights the distinct character of the landscape.

This 100% cacao bar is a testament to the influence of careful processing on flavor. The beans undergo a precise six day fermentation in wooden boxes before being sun dried on raised beds. In the workshop, the beans are refined using a melanger to achieve a texture that carries the profile beautifully. Without any added sugar, milk, vanilla, or lecithin, the palate is left to explore the natural nuances of sweet dates, rich malt, and a bright, refreshing citrus finish.

The commitment to transparency and quality has earned this bar recognition on the global stage, including Silver awards from both the Academy of Chocolate and the NZ Chocolate Awards in 2020. It serves as an excellent example of how skilled craftsmanship allows the inherent qualities of single estate cacao to shine through in an unsweetened format.
