Experience the Yuzu 72% Dark by Lucid Chocolatier. A bean-to-bar masterpiece featuring rare Peruvian Pure Nacional cacao and bright yuzu citrus notes.
Based in New Zealand, Lucid Chocolatier operates as a dedicated bean-to-bar maker with a meticulous approach to the craft. They focus on preserving the authentic integrity of their source material, eschewing common industrial additives like lecithin, vanillin, or vegetable fats in favor of a pure, transparent process.
The Yuzu 72% Dark bar is an elegant study in contrast. It showcases the legendary Pure Nacional cacao, specifically the Fortunato No. 4 variety, harvested in the remote Marañon Valley of Peru. Refined carefully in a melanger, the chocolate yields a sophisticated melt that provides a perfect foundation for the aromatic brightness of yuzu essential oil, creating a balanced experience of deep earthiness and vibrant citrus zest.
Lucid Chocolatier remains committed to high-quality ingredients, utilizing only organic cacao beans, organic cane sugar, and organic cacao butter. Their dedication to excellence is frequently recognized by the international community, boasting accolades such as the Academy of Chocolate Bronze award and multiple gold and silver honors at the New Zealand Chocolate Awards.
