Dutch Original Milk 52%

Heinde & Verre is a dedicated producer focusing on the intersection of Dutch tradition and global cacao origins. This 70 gram offering, known as the Dutch Original Milk 52%, reflects a sophisticated approach to milk chocolate. It utilizes a curated blend of organic beans from Öko Caribe in the Dominican Republic, Hacienda Victoria in Ecuador, and Ransiki in Indonesia. By selecting the Arriba Nacional variety among others, the maker ensures a foundation of excellence and complexity.

This bar distinguishes itself with an intense cacao presence and a refined texture achieved through melanger processing. The flavor journey is intricate, revealing distinct notes of caramel and coffee that meld with the richness of walnuts and a hint of soft fruit. In a commitment to ingredient transparency, the recipe excludes vanillin, vanilla, and vegetable fats, allowing the natural essence of the Arriba Nacional cacao and the sunflower lecithin emulsifier to maintain a pure profile.

Sourcing is at the heart of the process, with cacao that has been fermented and dried at the origin using traditional protocols. The inclusion of authentic Dutch Basterd sugar and Dutch cow milk pays homage to regional flavors while supporting a rich mouthfeel. This bar, which contains two individual pieces per unit, has been lauded by the specialty community, securing an Academy of Chocolate Gold award in 2022 and a Bronze in 2021.
