About Lam Dong 74%
Lam Dong 74% is produced by Marou, a bean-to-bar maker known for its focus on single-origin Vietnamese cacao. Sourced from the Lâm Đồng region, this bar highlights the potential of local Trinitario beans. Its profile gained industry recognition when it earned Best in Show at the 2014 Northwest Chocolate Festival.
The sensory experience of this 80-gram bar is defined by a 74% cacao intensity. Marou describes one process for its range: the beans ferment in wooden boxes lined with banana leaves, then dry in the sun. The resulting palate reveals distinct notes of citrus, berries, spices, and honey.
Simplicity defines the formulation of this bar. The composition relies on only three ingredients, cacao nibs at 68 percent, cane sugar at 26 percent, and added cacao butter at 6 percent. This focused ingredient list allows the natural characteristics of the Lâm Đồng terroir to remain at the forefront.
