Stockists worldwide.
Mikkel Friis Holm is a visionary Danish bean to bar maker who has redefined the standards of craft chocolate through a meticulous, almost scientific approach to flavor development. Based in Denmark, this artisan producer is renowned for exploring how specific processing techniques can alter the final profile of a bean. The Indio Rojo 70% bar is a testament to this philosophy, centering on the Indio Rojo Project. This initiative focuses on isolating and preserving rare 'red' cacao genetics found within the Verapaz region of Guatemala, ensuring these unique trees are recognized for their distinct character.
The sensory experience of this 70% dark chocolate is defined by its sophisticated fermentation. The beans undergo a specific double fermentation protocol in wooden boxes, a process that develops a complex acidity. Enthusiasts will discover a profile rich with notes of red berry and the deep, caramelized sweetness of dark molasses syrup.
Integrity is at the heart of this 100 gram bar, which is produced using Direct Trade principles to ensure transparency and quality at the source. This dedication to excellence has been widely recognized by the international chocolate community. It remains a benchmark for connoisseurs seeking a balance of high level craftsmanship and rare genetic preservation.
