A 65% dark chocolate bar from Japanese bean-to-bar maker Minimal, highlighting vibrant notes of dried fruits, apple, and berry from Peruvian cacao.
Minimal is a Tokyo-based bean-to-bar producer dedicated to the craft of highlighting specific cacao characteristics. By focusing on minimal ingredients, including only cacao beans, sugar, and cocoa butter, the maker emphasizes the raw potential of the bean rather than excessive processing.
This 65% dark bar showcases cacao sourced from Pucallpa, Peru. The beans undergo a 6-day fermentation process in wooden boxes followed by sun-drying to stabilize their qualities. The resulting flavor profile centers on bright, tart, and sweet sensations, specifically evoking dried fruits, crisp apple, and berry undertones.
The consistency and execution of this bar have earned it recognition on the global stage. It holds a significant pedigree in industry competitions, notably securing a Gold medal at the 2016 International Chocolate Awards, alongside several Silver and Bronze honors from the International Chocolate Awards and the Academy of Chocolate.
