Award-winning 70% dark chocolate from Krak. A nano lot featuring rare Mexican Criollo, Pentágona, and Lagarto beans with notes of raspberry and lemon.
Krak Chocolade presents a rare nano lot from the historic Soconusco region of Chiapas, Mexico. This specific expression comes from the Don Moisés lot within Finca la Rioja, located in the lush environment of Cacahoatán. The bar highlights a unique genetic blend of Criollo, Pentágona, and Lagarto cacao varieties, showcasing the deep agricultural heritage and biodiversity of the Mexican landscape.
With a 70 percent cacao concentration, this bar offers a sophisticated sensory experience defined by bright acidity and a fruit-forward profile. Tasters often discover vibrant notes of raspberry and sparkling lemon balanced by structured tannins. The maker utilizes a traditional melanger for refining, ensuring a smooth texture that preserves the integrity of the 2023 harvest. The result is a balanced yet intense profile that earned a Gold award from the Academy of Chocolate in 2023.
Purity and precision guide the production of this 80 gram bar, which contains only two ingredients: cocoa beans and unrefined cane sugar. The post-harvest process is meticulous, as beans undergo fermentation in wooden boxes for five days with frequent turning before being sun-dried on wooden platforms. This careful handling at the farm level ensures the rare bean varieties reach their full potential without the need for additives like lecithin or vanillin.
