Sierra Nevada 55% Milk Chocolate

Krak Chocolade is a dedicated bean to bar artisan maker operating out of the Netherlands. This 80 gram bar highlights their commitment to showcasing the unique nuances of specific origins, in this case, the Sierra Nevada region of Colombia. The beans undergo meticulous preparation at the Cacao de Colombia center in the community of Macondo, Magdalena, before they are crafted into the final bar by the Dutch maker.

At a substantial 55% cacao content, this bar belongs to the dark milk category, which balances the creamy richness of whole milk powder with the robust intensity of Colombian cacao. The flavor profile is remarkably complex: it unfolds with velvety layers of almond butter and caramel. Enthusiasts often discover surprising pops of kiwi alongside deeper, more traditional notes of dark red fruits, nutmeg, and cinnamon.

The technical excellence of this bar is achieved through a minimalist ingredient list that excludes lecithin and vanilla, allowing the pure characteristics of the Sierra Nevada terroir to shine. This uncompromising approach to craftsmanship has earned the bar prestigious recognition in the specialty chocolate world. It was named an Academy of Chocolate Golden Bean Winner in 2021 and also secured Gold at the International Chocolate Awards European 2021-22.
