About

About 50% Con Leche

Hoja Verde is an Ecuadorian producer with a distinctive dual identity. While the organization is well regarded for its premium rose cultivation, its chocolate division functions as a dedicated maker focused on the terroir of Ecuador. Based in a country synonymous with high quality cacao, the producer manages its own operations to ensure the character of the regional beans is preserved in the final product.

The 50% Con Leche represents a high cocoa percentage for a milk chocolate, which moves it away from overly sweet profiles toward a more defined cocoa character. The inclusion of both whole milk powder and skimmed milk powder creates a creamy texture that acts as a foundation for notes of intense cocoa and caramel. The bar is processed with soy lecithin for stability and a consistent melt, a detail that reflects a balanced approach to modern milk chocolate crafting.

The 50% Con Leche has received external recognition for its quality, earning a Silver award from the Academy of Chocolate. Each 50 gram bar serves as a focused expression of the Hoja Verde philosophy, utilizing standard high quality ingredients like cocoa mass, sugar, and cocoa butter to highlight the potential of Ecuadorian beans when paired with dairy.
