Maple & Walnut

Produced by Hogarth, a bean-to-bar maker located in New Zealand, the Maple & Walnut bar highlights a departure from traditional dark cocoa profiles. As a specialist in small-batch production, the maker maintains control over the manufacturing process from raw bean to finished bar, ensuring a consistent approach to quality.

This white chocolate bar contains 34% cacao and weighs 70 grams. The production involves melanger refinement, a method that ensures a smooth texture characteristic of the maker's style. The flavour profile relies on the natural sweetness of maple paired with the earthy crunch of walnuts, earning the bar a Silver award at the 2021 Academy of Chocolate.

The ingredient list includes milk and walnuts as primary allergens. Consumers should be aware that the bar may also contain traces of gluten and hazelnuts due to the shared environment during the production process.
