Dutch Grown Vanilla Milk 53%

Heinde & Verre is an artisan producer based in the Netherlands. The company focuses on a precise, slow-crafted approach to chocolate making, transforming single-origin cacao into finished bars. This Dutch Grown Vanilla Milk 53% bar showcases the specific output of the L'Esterre Estate in Grenada, utilizing Trinitario cacao beans.

The production process prioritizes texture and flavor development. The cacao is fermented in wooden boxes and sun-dried on trays at the origin before being refined in a melanger. The resulting 53% milk chocolate exhibits a profile defined by banana and caramel tones, balanced with floral nuances and a distinct sweet and spicy vanilla character. It earned a Bronze award at the 2024 Academy of Chocolate.

The composition of this bar relies on a short list of ingredients, including cacao beans, cacao butter, milk powder, sugar, vanilla, and sunflower lecithin. By carefully controlling the roast and refining cycles, the maker emphasizes the inherent qualities of the Grenadian harvest.
