Timutpeppar Hallon

Gånsviks is a bean-to-bar chocolate maker located in Härnösand, in the Höga Kusten region of Sweden. Operating as a small-scale artisan producer, the company focuses on direct control over the manufacturing process. This specific bar, Timutpeppar Hallon, reflects an approach that favors minimal processing to highlight both the base cacao and the added botanical elements.

This 70% dark chocolate is refined using a melanger. The composition is straightforward, consisting only of cocoa mass, cane sugar, cocoa butter, freeze-dried raspberries, and timut pepper. By excluding additives such as lecithin, vanillin, and vegetable fats, the maker ensures that the fruit-forward profile of the raspberry and the grapefruit-like citrus notes characteristic of timut pepper remain the primary sensory focus.

The 80-gram bar showcases an emphasis on clean ingredient lists and traditional refining methods. As a producer based in northern Sweden, Gånsviks maintains transparency regarding their production methods and ingredient sourcing, providing enthusiasts with a clear view into the crafting of their bars.
