About

Monsoon

The Monsoon bar is crafted by Hogarth, a chocolate maker based in New Zealand. This bar showcases the Arriba Nacional variety of cacao, sourced from the Guayaquil region of Ecuador, resulting in a chocolate foundation that serves as a canvas for bolder, aromatically driven ingredients.

At 66% cocoa, this bar leans into a profile defined by its aromatic inclusions. The base is infused with candied ginger, chili, lime oil, and lemongrass oil. These additions provide a sharp, zesty contrast to the chocolate, creating a spiced and citrus-forward experience that stands out from more traditional plain dark chocolate bars.

The Monsoon bar comes in a 70 gram format. As with many inclusions-focused bars, the packaging carries a clear allergen warning, noting that the product may contain milk, gluten, and hazelnuts due to the shared environment of the production facility.
