About O'Payo Milk Sansho 50% with Green Sansho Pepper
Friis Holm is a dedicated bean-to-bar maker based in Denmark. The company focuses on meticulous processing of high-quality cacao, a philosophy reflected in the O'Payo Milk Sansho 50%. This bar highlights the specific characteristics of Trinitario-Acriollado cacao sourced from Nicaragua, demonstrating the capacity for nuanced expression within a milk chocolate format.
The sensory profile of this bar is defined by the inclusion of Sansho pepper, which adds a distinct zing to the base of cacao beans, sugar, milk powder, and cacao butter. Enthusiasts often identify notes of lemon, citrus, and honey, balanced by a creamy mouthfeel and fruity undertones. The addition of the Japanese pepper elevates the natural acidity of the Nicaraguan beans, creating a layered experience that earned World Gold at the International Chocolate Awards in 2019 and 2020.
Friis Holm prioritizes ingredient quality by utilizing organic-certified components. The process is handled in-house, ensuring direct oversight from raw bean to finished bar, maintaining consistency in the roast and conching stages to preserve the inherent qualities of the Nicaraguan harvest.
