About Taiwan #8 Ping Tung Premium Roast
The Taiwan #8 Ping Tung Premium Roast is a standout creation from Fu Wan Chocolate, a bean-to-bar maker located in Taiwan that buys fresh Ping Tung cacao from local farms and ferments it itself. This bar represents a deep commitment to terroir, showcasing how Taiwanese cacao can rival the world's most established growing regions.
This 70% dark chocolate offers an intricate sensory journey. The Trinitario beans are fermented in wooden boxes and sun-dried, a process that coaxes out a bright and complex flavor profile. Enthusiasts can expect a symphony of notes including crisp apple, juicy strawberry, and mixed berries, balanced by the grounding warmth of toffee, nuts, and a subtle coffee finish. The texture remains clean and focused, as the recipe relies strictly on cocoa beans, sugar, and additional cocoa butter without the use of additives like lecithin or vanillin.
Fu Wan has earned significant acclaim for their work, including a prestigious Gold medal at the International Chocolate Awards Asia-Pacific. Their approach is one of precision and reverence for the raw ingredient. By focusing on minimal processing and high-quality harvests, they ensure that the unique, vibrant character of the Ping Tung region remains the hero of every 45-gram bar.
