This 100% Ecuadorian dark chocolate from Swedish maker HÖGANÄS highlights the pure profile of beans from the award-winning Hacienda San Jose farm.
Produced by the Swedish maker HÖGANÄS, this bar represents a focused approach to cacao processing. As a tree-to-bar artisan, HÖGANÄS manages the transformation of the raw material from its origin in the Los Rios region of Ecuador. The specific beans are sourced from Hacienda San Jose, a lot recognized for its quality with both a 2023 Cacao of Excellence Gold award and the Pepa de Oro award from the Salon del Cacao y Chocolate.
The Dark 100% bar contains only cocoa mass, highlighting the pure essence of the Ecuadorian cacao. Without the addition of sugar, milk powder, or extra cocoa butter, the flavor profile remains unmasked. Tasters will notice notes of oak, roasted cocoa nibs, and toasted walnut, balanced by brighter hints of citrus and the subtle, fruity sweetness of banana.
By focusing on a single-origin lot, the maker emphasizes transparency in the supply chain. The 70-gram bar serves as a study of the Hacienda San Jose harvest, stripped of all additives to let the natural characteristics of the terroir and the post-harvest processing shine through in every bite.
