The Marañón 72% is a standout creation from Lucid Chocolatier, an artisan producer dedicated to the craft of bean to bar chocolate. By focusing on exceptional raw materials, they transform raw cacao into a sophisticated experience that bridges the gap between origin and palate. This bar showcases their commitment to small batch production and careful handling of each unique harvest.

At the heart of this bar lies the rare Pure Nacional bean, handled with a light roast profile to preserve its volatile aromatics. Refined carefully in a melanger, the result is a textured yet refined melt that reveals a surprisingly delicate flavor profile. Enthusiasts will find nuanced notes of jasmine and rose, grounded by a subtle, earthy walnut finish. This bar balances high intensity with an elegant, lingering fragrance, reflective of a thoughtful, minimal ingredient list of just cocoa beans, cane sugar, and cocoa butter.

The quality of the Marañón 72% has not gone unnoticed on the global stage. Its refined character and technical execution have earned it significant recognition, including Gold at the International Chocolate Awards Asia-Pacific 2021-22 and a Silver medal at the World level. Such accolades underscore the maker's meticulous approach to processing and their ability to honor the distinct heritage of the Pure Nacional variety.
