Friis Holm is a Danish craft bean to bar maker celebrated for an analytical and experimental approach to fermentation. Based in Denmark, this producer focuses on highlighting the genetic diversity of cacao through precise processing. This specific 25 gram bar, La Dalia 100%, tells a unique story of the La Dalia region in Nicaragua. Its name, 'The Lazy Cocoa Growers Blend,' is a nod to ten local farmers who chose to ferment their various bean varieties together as a collective Field Blend rather than sorting them by individual strain.
As an unsweetened dark chocolate, the bar contains no sugar, vanillin, or lecithin, consisting only of cocoa beans and cocoa butter. The experience is defined by a strong aromatic acidity and deep cocoa depth that avoids the flat bitterness often associated with high-percentage cacao. Enthusiasts will find a complex profile featuring notes of blackcurrant, dark cherries, and bright citrus. The texture and taste are further influenced by a mineral character, spiced floral aromas, and a hint of wooded red fruit, all preserved through a non-alkalized production process.
The excellence of this bar is rooted in its post-harvest journey, specifically a box fermentation method that allows the mixed varieties from the ten growers to develop together. This unconventional 'lazy' approach has been validated by the highest honors in the industry, including the International Chocolate Awards World Gold in 2023 and European Silver in 2025. By working closely with Nicaraguan producers, Friis Holm demonstrates how respecting local farming traditions can yield sophisticated and globally recognized results.
