Mulberry

Based in New Zealand, Lucid Chocolatier is a dedicated bean-to-bar maker that approaches chocolate production with both precision and an artistic touch. By managing the transformation from raw bean to finished bar in-house, they maintain complete control over the flavor development of their small-batch creations, ensuring that the unique characteristics of their chosen harvests are fully showcased.

The Mulberry bar is a testament to the potential of dark milk chocolate, sitting at a 54% cacao concentration. It features the highly regarded Piura White cacao from Peru, a variety prized for its nutty and delicate profile. The inclusion of freeze-dried mulberries introduces a bright, tart acidity that contrasts beautifully with the creamy texture of the milk and the depth of the cacao, which is carefully processed through wooden-box fermentation and sun-drying.

Lucid Chocolatier prioritizes transparency and ethical integrity in their supply chain, maintaining official direct trade sourcing claims for their beans. Their commitment to quality has been recognized within the industry, earning them a Silver award at the 2022 NZ Chocolate Awards. Every ingredient, from the organic cane sugar to the premium milk powder, is selected to complement the specific personality of the Piura White harvest.
