Dak Lak 70%, Marou Chocolate

Name: Dak Lak 70%
Brand: Marou Chocolate
Rating: 5 (1 reviews)

The Dak Lak 70% bar is produced by Marou Chocolate, a bean-to-bar maker operating within Vietnam. This bar highlights the specific agricultural output of the Dak Lak region, where the producers source their cacao. The selection focuses on the Trinitario variety, chosen for its adaptability to the local climate and its potential for developing character during processing.

Crafting this bar involves a controlled post-harvest protocol. The beans undergo a 5-day fermentation process in wooden boxes, followed by a 10-day sun-drying period. The final formulation is straightforward, containing 64% cacao nibs, 30% cane sugar, and 6% added cacao butter. On the palate, the profile is defined by notes of cashew nuts, plum, and a lingering spice of pepper. The recognition of this profile includes a Bronze medal at the 2018 International Chocolate Awards Asia Pacific.

As a bean-to-bar producer, Marou maintains oversight of the supply chain starting from the initial harvest in the Dak Lak region. By processing the raw ingredients in-house, the maker ensures that the drying and fermentation stages remain consistent with the requirements of the specific bean harvest. The resulting bar is presented in an 80-gram format.
