Leite de Coco 58%

Mestiço is a Brazilian tree-to-bar maker that produces chocolate at the origin. Operating under the philosophy of Da Nossa Floresta à Barra, or From Tree to Bar, the producer handles the transformation of the cacao within the country of origin, specifically sourcing from the Bahia region.

This Leite de Coco 58% bar is a dark milk chocolate, formulated with a composition of cacao nibs, organic sugar, milk powder, and cocoa butter produced by the maker. The bar displays a distinct flavour profile featuring coconut. The producer discloses the use of conching during the process and maintains consistency through professional tempering.

Quality and transparency are central to the operations of Mestiço, which engages in direct-trade practices to source its ingredients. The production process intentionally avoids the use of additives such as lecithin, vanilla, vanillin, PGPR, or vegetable fats, relying instead on high-quality components. This specific bar was recognized with a Bronze award at the 2023 Academy of Chocolate.
