François Pralus, a celebrated French chocolatier based in Roanne, crafts this bar using beans sourced from the historic Chuao region of Venezuela. This area is widely recognized for its long history of cocoa cultivation. The bar is part of the Les Tropiques du Chocolat collection, which highlights the specific geographical coordinates of its origin.
The bar is composed of 75% cacao, specifically the prized Criollo variety. To maintain the character of the beans, the production process utilizes traditional drying methods on the ground. The recipe is kept straightforward, relying on cocoa, sugar, added pure cocoa butter, and sunflower lecithin to achieve its final consistency.
While the ingredients are carefully selected, the packaging notes that the product may contain traces of nuts or milk, an important consideration for those with specific dietary sensitivities.
