This 72% dark chocolate from the Czech artisan Herufek showcases Trinitario, Nacional, and Criollo cacao from the Duarte Province of the Dominican Republic.
Herufek is a family-owned artisan chocolate maker based in the village of Čejč, Czech Republic. Operating as a bean-to-bar producer, the company focuses on highlighting the characteristics of single-origin cacao through careful processing in their small-scale facility.
The Dominican Republic 72% bar features a blend of Trinitario, Nacional, and Criollo bean varieties sourced from the Duarte Province. These beans are centrally fermented and sun-dried by the Öko Caribe organization, a process that preserves the integrity of the harvest. The chocolate consists of a straightforward ingredient list of cocoa beans, cane sugar, and added cocoa butter, allowing the natural profile of the cacao to remain the focus. The consistency of this approach is evidenced by multiple accolades from the Academy of Chocolate and the International Chocolate Awards.
The production process prioritizes quality and agricultural transparency. All cocoa used in this bar is certified Organic, reflecting the standard of cultivation required by the sourcing partners in the Dominican Republic.
