A 75% dark chocolate from Karuna in the Italian Dolomites, aged 6 months in Pipa barrels for deep notes of red fruit, oak, and wine-like complexity.
Karuna Chocolate operates from the heart of the Italian Dolomites, where they function as a dedicated bean-to-bar maker. By controlling the transformation from raw cacao to the finished 60-gram bar, they maintain a clear vision of quality that has earned them silver accolades at the Academy of Chocolate in both 2021 and 2023.
The Pipa barrel aged 75% is an exercise in patient craftsmanship. The cacao beans, sourced from the Toledo region of Belize, undergo an aging process of six months within a Pipa barrel. This maturation imparts a sophisticated profile, characterized by deep oak influences and a jammy sweetness that pairs beautifully with notes of red fruits and wine. The result is a bar that balances intensity with a refined, layered palate.
Integrity remains at the core of the Karuna philosophy. They rely exclusively on ethically traded and organically grown ingredients to produce their chocolate. The recipe for this bar remains purposefully minimalist, featuring only organic cocoa beans, organic raw cane sugar, and organic cocoa butter, ensuring the unique characteristics of the Belizean origin shine through.
