A 70% dark chocolate bar from Nicaragua, featuring a distinct fermentation process that results in notes of black olive, spice, and lemon zest.
The Chuno 70% Double Turned is an acclaimed bar produced by Friis Holm. Based in Denmark, this maker focuses on the precision of post-harvest processing. The cacao originates from the San José de Bocay region in Jinotega, Nicaragua, a territory noted for its specific microclimate and traditional farming practices.
The profile of this bar is defined by a meticulous 5-day fermentation protocol. The beans are turned twice, specifically at 48 and 72 hours, to influence the final development of flavor. The resulting chocolate offers an unconventional tasting experience characterized by savory black olives, toasted nuts, and warming spices, balanced by a bright finish of citrus peel and lemon zest.
Composition is kept intentionally simple, utilizing only three ingredients: cocoa beans, sugar, and cocoa butter. The consistency of this approach is reflected in international recognition, including World Silver wins at the International Chocolate Awards in 2024, 2021-22, and 2020-21.
