Krak Chocolade is a dedicated maker focused on highlighting the unique characteristics of world class cacao. This specific bar features beans harvested in 2019 from the Peini Plantation, located in the lush Toledo District of Punta Gorda, Belize. By focusing on small batch production, the maker ensures that the heritage of the Trinitario and Criollo varieties is preserved through every step of the transformation from raw bean to finished bar.
The profile of this 70 percent dark chocolate is defined by a vibrant complexity. It opens with a fresh citrus acidity that transitions into the sweetness of tropical soft fruit. As the melt continues, deeper notes of roasted nuts and subtle herbs emerge. The texture is refined using a traditional melanger, resulting in a smooth experience that highlights the pure ingredients: cocoa beans, cane sugar, and cocoa butter. There are no additives like lecithin or vanillin, allowing the true personality of the Belizean terroir to shine.
Precision in post harvest processing is central to the quality of these organic beans. The cacao underwent a seven day fermentation period in Santa Maria wood boxes before being sun dried on wooden tables. This careful craftsmanship earned the bar high honors, including a Gold award from the Academy of Chocolate in 2022 and a Silver at the International Chocolate Awards. Such recognition underscores the commitment to excellence in sourcing and the meticulous nature of the process.
