Johe 70% is a Nicaraguan dark chocolate bar by Friis Holm, recognized with a 2025 World Silver award for its dark cocoa and citrus profile.
The Johe 70% is crafted by the Danish bean-to-bar maker Friis Holm. Based in Denmark, this producer operates as a dedicated bean-to-bar maker, focusing on precision in every stage of production from raw bean to finished bar. The 100 gram bar serves as a primary example of the maker's technical approach to cocoa processing.
The character of this bar is defined by beans sourced from Northern Nicaragua. The production process emphasizes controlled fermentation, where cacao is processed in one-cubic-meter boxes and turned at specific intervals to manage development. This results in a flavor profile highlighted by dark cocoa and roasted nuances, punctuated by distinct notes of orange.
The composition remains minimalist, consisting only of cocoa beans, sugar, and cocoa butter. This specific iteration has received industry recognition, including the International Chocolate Awards World Silver 2025, which underscores the consistency of the production method.
