Friis Holm is an artisan chocolate maker based in Denmark, recognized for a precise, scientific approach to cocoa processing. The Medagla 70% highlights the potential of Nicaraguan cacao, specifically drawing beans from the Matagalpa region.
The sensory profile of this 70% dark chocolate is defined by the meticulous post-harvest protocols applied to the beans. Utilizing controlled box fermentation and solar drying, specifically following the Ingemann Fine Cacao protocols, the maker ensures consistency and clarity in flavor. The final composition remains minimal and focused, containing only cacao beans, sugar, and additional cacao butter to achieve a balanced texture.
Each 100 gram bar reflects a technical approach to nutritional composition, with the label reporting 30g of sugar and 36g of fat per 100g. By focusing on specific regional sourcing and repeatable fermentation techniques, the producer demonstrates an commitment to transparency and quality control, ensuring that the characteristics of the Matagalpa harvest are preserved from the origin to the finished bar.
