Experience the vibrant profile of Karuna's Belize 70% bar. Crafted in the Italian Dolomites, this experimental batch highlights bright, fruity acidity.
Karuna is an artisan bean-to-bar chocolate maker tucked away in the dramatic landscape of the Italian Dolomites. Operating as a small, focused workshop, they maintain meticulous control over the entire production process. Their approach combines traditional craftsmanship with an experimental spirit, allowing them to highlight the distinct character of the cocoa beans they select from around the world.
This specific bar is a showcase of terroir and technique. Crafted from 70% Trinitario cacao sourced from the lush Toledo District of Belize, the bar undergoes a distinct fast-drying protocol. By sun-drying the beans for just five days, the makers intentionally sharpen the bean's natural profile to emphasize bright acidity and vibrant fruity notes. With a simple, pure ingredient list of cocoa beans, raw cane sugar, and cocoa butter, the complexity of the origin remains the primary focus. This dedication to process has earned the bar significant recognition, including an International Chocolate Awards European Silver in 2023.
Karuna emphasizes a philosophy of conscious consumption that extends beyond the flavor of the chocolate. Their commitment to the environment is reflected in their choice of packaging, which is entirely plastic-free and glue-free, utilizing only certified natural papers to house their creations.
