Licorice Caramel 35%, Hogarth

Licorice Caramel

Produced by Hogarth Chocolate in New Zealand, this bar represents the intersection of traditional confectionery and fine-tuned craft production. Hogarth operates as a bean-to-bar maker, focusing on the careful selection and processing of cacao to achieve specific flavor profiles.

The bar is a study in texture and balanced intensity. As a caramelized white chocolate, it undergoes a transformation that deepens the base notes of milk and cocoa butter. This foundation is finished with 3.5% licorice powder, which introduces an herbal, root-driven bitterness to counter the inherent sweetness of the caramelization. The batch is refined using a melanger, a process that ensures a smooth, uniform mouthfeel for the 35% cacao composition.

The quality of this specific creation was recognized with a Gold medal at the 2022 NZ Chocolate Awards. It remains a hallmark of the maker's willingness to integrate bold, botanical elements into their white chocolate portfolio while maintaining technical precision.
