Award-winning 70% dark chocolate by Dutch maker Krak. Sourced from the Anh Em farm in Vietnam, this bar features vibrant citrus and earthy oak notes.
Krak, an artisan bean to bar maker based in the Netherlands, brings meticulous precision to this 2021 harvest from Vietnam. This specific bar, sourced from the Anh Em farm lot in the Dak Lak region, represents a single origin expression that garnered a Gold award from the Academy of Chocolate in 2022. It showcases the maker's dedication to highlighting the distinct character of Vietnamese terroir through small batch craftsmanship.
This 70% dark chocolate is crafted from Trinitario beans, resulting in a complex sensory journey. The profile is remarkably nuanced, offering a balance of bright citrus and deep fruit notes alongside savory undertones of earth, oak, and toasted nuts. With a clean ingredient list of only cocoa beans, cane sugar, and cocoa butter, the bar maintains a pure focus on the bean without the use of lecithin or vanillin.
The depth of flavor is a direct result of careful post harvest processing at the source. The cacao undergoes a five day fermentation process in wooden boxes followed by seven to ten days of drying in solar tunnels. This controlled environment ensures the Trinitario beans develop their characteristic light yet delicate complexity before they are transformed by the maker into an 80 gram bar of exceptional quality.
