Dark Milk 55%

Friis Holm, based in Denmark, operates as a bean-to-bar producer focused on meticulous processing. The Dark Milk 55% bar represents their approach to balancing dairy with high-quality cacao. By sourcing specifically from Nicaragua, the maker emphasizes the influence of regional harvesting on the final profile.

This bar features a composition of cacao beans, cane sugar, milk powder, and added cacao butter. At 55% cacao, the texture benefits from the inclusion of milk powder, which rounds out the intensity of the beans. The resulting palate highlights primary notes of caramel alongside a clear, toasted cacao foundation. The bar received a Gold medal at the 2023 International Chocolate Awards, reflecting the precision in its production.

The production process remains focused on the inherent qualities of the Nicaraguan beans. Each 100-gram bar is produced under the oversight of Mikkel Friis Holm, who manages the technical aspects of fermentation and roasting to ensure the consistency of the flavor profile, avoiding over-processing that could mask the character of the origin.
