About O'Payo 68%
Friis Holm, based in Denmark, is a renowned producer dedicated to the meticulous study of fermentation and roast profiles. The O'Payo 68% is a clear example of their technical approach to bean-to-bar production. By focusing on specific harvesting and processing methods in the Waslala region of Nicaragua, they highlight the inherent character of the cacao.
The sensory experience of this 68% dark chocolate bar is defined by its clean profile. It features distinct citrus and fruity notes, balanced by soft tannins that provide structure without bitterness. The ingredient list is minimal, containing only cocoa beans, sugar, and cocoa butter, allowing the specific characteristics of the Waslala harvest to remain the focal point.
The O'Payo bar is produced with organic ingredients. This commitment to quality has been recognized within the industry, including a Silver award at the International Chocolate Awards European 2026. Each 100-gram bar reflects a rigorous standard of craftsmanship from the fermentation stage through to the final pour.
