Bonança 70%

Bonança 70% is produced by La Brigaderie, an artisan maker focused on highlighting the characteristics of specific cacao harvests. This bar centers on beans sourced directly from the Bahia region of Brazil, a territory known for its long history of cacao production. The production process emphasizes clarity and transparency in ingredient selection, consisting solely of cacao beans and organic cane sugar in a 60-gram format.

The technical approach to this bar is defined by its 100% anaerobic fermentation method. By controlling the oxygen exposure during the fermentation of the beans, the maker influences the chemical precursors that develop during the subsequent roast. This processing technique results in a sensory profile characterized by milky and fruity notes, distinguishing it from traditional open-air fermentation methods.

The quality of the fermentation and the specific Brazilian origin were recognized at the 2023 International Chocolate Awards European, where the bar was awarded a Bronze medal. This acknowledgment highlights the result of La Brigaderie's focus on experimental processing techniques at the source level.
