A multi-award winning bean-to-bar creation from New Zealand, featuring Peruvian Ucayali cacao infused with 10-year-old Taylor's Tawny Port.
The Port 68% Dark bar is a flagship creation from Lucid Chocolatier, an artisan producer based in New Zealand. Dedicated to the meticulous craft of bean-to-bar chocolate, the maker focuses on highlighting the unique characteristics of specific cacao origins through careful, small-batch processing.
At the heart of this bar is premium cacao sourced from the Ucayali region of Peru. The defining character comes from an innovative infusion process where cacao nibs are submerged in 10-year-old Taylor's Tawny Port before being dried and refined in a melanger. This technique imparts a sophisticated depth to the 68 percent dark chocolate, bridging the gap between fine cacao and fortified wine notes. The result is a profile that has been recognized globally, earning top honors including the 2022 NZ Chocolate Awards Supreme Winner and accolades at the International Chocolate Awards.
Lucid Chocolatier operates with a philosophy rooted in purity and transparency. By maintaining control over the entire production cycle, from the initial sourcing of beans to the final tempering and molding of the bars, they ensure that the integrity of the Peruvian Ucayali harvest remains the focal point, while the barrel-aged nuances of the port provide a distinctive finish.
