Friis Holm, an artisan producer based in Denmark, focuses on the intersection of cocoa science and craft production. This Madagascar 64% bar originates from the Sambirano Valley, an area celebrated for its consistent high-quality output. The maker utilizes Trinitario beans, a variety prized for its potential to express both floral and fruity characteristics when managed with precision.
The defining characteristic of this bar is the specific post-harvest protocol. Unlike conventional methods, the beans undergo an intensive fast-dried process, involving eight hours of daily sun-drying immediately following fermentation. This accelerated drying technique is intended to manipulate the flavor development of the Trinitario beans. The resulting profile is captured in a composition of cocoa beans, sugar, and cocoa butter, allowing the natural identity of the Sambirano cocoa to remain the focal point.
Recognition for this specific experimental approach includes a Gold award at the 2022 International Chocolate Awards World Final. By isolating variables like drying time, the producer offers a technical look at how processing decisions alter the final sensory expression of Malagasy cacao.
