Kerala 72%

The Kerala 72% bar represents a specific regional expression of Indian cacao. Produced by Naviluna, an artisan maker based in India, this bar highlights the potential of beans grown within the Kerala region. As a bean-to-bar producer, the maker maintains direct oversight of the production process from raw bean to finished product.

The sensory profile of this chocolate is defined by a 72 percent cacao content balanced with 28 percent unrefined cane sugar. The beans undergo a specific fermentation protocol in cedar wood boxes, which contributes to the final flavour profile. Tasters may identify notes of mild pepper, red berries, and coriander, complemented by earthier undertones of leather and light tobacco. This approach earned the bar a Great Taste Award from the Guild of Fine Food UK in 2017.

Naviluna operates as a bean-to-bar maker, focusing on the processing of single-origin Indian cacao. By controlling the fermentation and production stages, the maker seeks to translate the characteristics of the local terroir into a 60-gram bar format, emphasising transparency and traditional processing methods.
