Ba Ria 76%

Ba Ria 76% highlights cacao sourced from the Ba Ria region of Vietnam. This bar utilizes Trinitario beans, a variety known for its balance of hardiness and flavor potential. The production process emphasizes the raw material, as evidenced by an ingredient list consisting solely of cacao nibs, cane sugar, and additional cacao butter, intentionally omitting lecithin, vanillin, and vegetable fats.

The flavor profile of this bar is defined by a lively and fruity character, showing distinct notes of currants and candied citrus tempered by a buttery finish. These attributes are a product of a specific post-harvest protocol where the beans are fermented in wooden boxes lined with banana leaves for five days, followed by a ten-day period of sun drying. This traditional approach preserves the bold qualities inherent in the Vietnamese harvest.

Recognition of this bar includes a 2-star award from the Great Taste Awards in 2016. Each bar is presented in an 80 gram format, focusing the consumer experience on the purity of the bean and the results of the fermentation process.
