Rugoso 70% is a multi-award winning dark chocolate bar from Denmark, crafted with Nicaraguan cacao featuring notes of yellow fruit, nuts, and dried fruit.
Rugoso 70% is produced by Friis Holm, a bean-to-bar maker based in Denmark. The bar showcases a meticulous approach to processing, reflecting the maker's reputation for precision in cacao development. The company is recognized for its consistent success at the International Chocolate Awards, having secured World Gold medals in 2014, 2015, 2018, and 2019.
The sensory experience of this bar is defined by a flavor profile of yellow fruit, nuts, and dried fruit. This clarity of flavor is achieved through a specific protocol where beans undergo controlled fermentation in wooden boxes followed by traditional sun-drying. The recipe remains focused on the raw material, containing only cacao beans, sugar, and additional cacao butter.
The cacao used in this bar is sourced from the Matagalpa region of Nicaragua. Working through Ingemann, the maker ensures that the cacao varieties are genetically identified and separately fermented. This sourcing model prioritizes the distinct characteristics of the origin, allowing the intrinsic qualities of the Matagalpa harvest to persist in the final chocolate.
