Arhuaco 65%

Minimal is an artisan chocolate maker based in Tokyo, Japan. The brand focuses on highlighting the intrinsic characteristics of cacao through a transparent, minimalist approach to production. Their Arhuaco 65% bar is crafted using beans sourced from the Arhuaco region in Colombia, a territory known for its high-quality cacao production.

The Arhuaco 65% bar is produced using only two ingredients, specifically cacao beans and sugar. Minimal employs a light roast style, a technique chosen to preserve the delicate inherent flavors of the Colombian beans. This processing method reveals a prominent flavor note of grape jam, providing a clear and focused sensory profile that has earned the bar Gold honors at the International Chocolate Awards World and Asia Pacific in 2021.

The philosophy at Minimal centers on the reduction of additives to showcase the quality of the raw material. By limiting the ingredient list to cacao and sugar, the maker ensures that the terroir of the Arhuaco beans remains the focal point for the consumer. This methodology positions the brand within the specialty sector, where craftsmanship is evaluated by the clarity of expression in the final bar.
