Friis Holm is a distinguished Danish craft chocolate maker based in Denmark, renowned for a clinical yet passionate approach to single origin bars. This Nicaliso 70% expression represents their deep collaboration with Nicaraguan producers and their commitment to exploring the technical boundaries of chocolate making. As a dedicated bean to bar artisan, the maker focuses on how specific genetics and post-harvest processing influence the final sensory experience in every batch.
The Nicaliso 70% dark chocolate bar offers a complex palate defined by the rare Nicaliso bean variety. Upon tasting, explorers may discover a tapestry of blueberries and dried fruits balanced by the savory depth of roasted grains and warm spices. This nuanced profile is achieved through a meticulous slow drying fermentation and drying protocol, ensuring the cacao's natural aromatic potential is fully realized. The recipe remains pure; it is crafted without the use of lecithin or vanillin.
Sourced from Northern Nicaragua, the Nicaliso variety is part of an effort to preserve and celebrate heritage cacao genetics. Friis Holm's philosophy centers on transparency and technical precision, using only cacao beans, sugar, and cocoa butter in this 100 gram bar to allow the terroir of the Nicaraguan highlands to speak clearly. This commitment to craftsmanship and quality was recognized with a World Silver award at the 2023 International Chocolate Awards.
