About Rugoso 70% Bad Fermentation
Produced by the Danish bean-to-bar maker Friis Holm, this 70% dark chocolate bar utilizes the Rugoso bean variety from Nicaragua. The chocolate is made with three ingredients: cocoa beans, sugar, and cocoa butter. Each 100-gram bar contains 30 grams of sugar and 36 grams of fat.
The maker calls this Bad Fermentation because not all of the cacao beans turned brown during fermentation. The resulting chocolate presents flavor notes of green banana, unripe plum, baked plums, tannins, and spicy hints.
