Monsoon

Monsoon is a bold expression of craft chocolate produced by Holy Cow, an artisan maker based in Ghent, Belgium. As a dedicated bean to bar producer, Holy Cow maintains complete oversight of their process, transforming raw materials into finished bars within their Belgian workshop. This specific bar draws its identity from the lush, humid landscapes of Kerala, India, where the cacao is sourced with a focus on fair and sustainable practices before beginning its journey to Europe.

This 85% cacao bar is designed for those who appreciate the raw, unadulterated power of the bean. The flavor profile is defined by its robust intensity, offering deep, grounded notes of earth and aged wood balanced by an underlying warmth of exotic spice. The texture is influenced by a minimalist ingredient list consisting only of cacao beans, cocoa butter, and muscovado sugar, which lends a nuanced, slightly caramel-like depth to the finish that complements the bar's natural strength.

Commitment to ethical sourcing is at the core of the Holy Cow philosophy. By bridging the gap between the smallholder farms in India and their Belgian facility, the maker ensures that every step of the supply chain aligns with fair and sustainable principles. This bar is intentionally crafted for inclusivity, carrying a Vegan certification that highlights the purity of its plant-based composition.
