Award winning Danish 70% dark chocolate showcasing the impact of fermentation. Single origin Nicaragua Chuno beans offer notes of fudge, cream, and black olives.
Friis Holm, a Danish bean to bar maker, is renowned for a meticulous and almost scientific approach to flavor development. Based in Denmark, this producer treats cacao with the same precision a winemaker applies to viticulture. This 100 gram bar is a focused exploration into how specific post harvest techniques can transform the inherent character of single origin beans sourced from the Chuno region of Nicaragua.
The profile of this 70 percent dark chocolate is defined by its unique fermentation protocol. Over five days, the beans are turned three times, a process that yields a remarkably complex sensory journey. Enthusiasts will discover a rich, fudge like intensity and a creamy melt, punctuated by savory hints of bread and black olives. A bright touch of citrus peel and balanced acidity ensure the finish remains vibrant and clean.
Craftsmanship here is focused on the purity of ingredients, utilizing only cocoa beans, sugar, and cocoa butter without the addition of lecithin or vanillin. The sun dried beans are a testament to the dedicated sourcing and processing standards that Friis Holm maintains. This specific attention to the Triple Turned method was recognized globally when the bar received a Gold award at the 2017 International Chocolate Awards World competition.
