La Dalia 85% is a Nicaraguan dark chocolate from Danish maker Friis Holm, offering a profile defined by aromatic acidity and intense cacao tones.
La Dalia 85% is crafted by the Danish producer Friis Holm. This bar highlights the specific characteristics of cacao sourced from the La Dalia region of Nicaragua. As an 85% cacao bar, it represents a high intensity approach to dark chocolate, focusing on the quality of the raw material rather than high sugar content.
The sensory experience of this bar is built upon a balance between aromatic acidity and deep cacao notes. By omitting additives like lecithin, vanillin, and PGPR, the producer allows the natural profile of the Nicaraguan beans to remain unobstructed. The recipe is intentionally minimal, consisting only of cacao beans, sugar, and cocoa butter.
Friis Holm maintains a focus on the technical aspects of processing beans to highlight regional identities. This bar, weighing 100 grams, serves as an example of their pursuit of clarity in dark chocolate, where the transformation from bean to finished bar is managed to preserve the specific character of the La Dalia origin.
