Phuket Dark Chocolate 70%

PARADAI represents the vanguard of the Thai craft chocolate movement. Operating as a tree to bar producer, they maintain a deep connection to the land by overseeing the entire journey from the orchard to the finished bar. This 50 gram bar highlights the unique terroir of Phuket, a region in Thailand where Trinitario cacao thrives under coastal tropical conditions.

At a 70% cacao concentration, this bar strikes a balance between intensity and elegance. The flavor profile is characterized by bright, sun drenched notes of tropical fruit and citrus, underscored by delicate floral aromas and a lingering honeyed sweetness. The texture is refined through the use of a traditional melanger, creating a smooth melt that allows the complex acidity and aromatic nuances of the Phuket grown beans to shine.

The craftsmanship behind this bar is rooted in precise post harvest methods that prioritize flavor development. The Trinitario beans undergo fermentation in wooden boxes before being sun dried to lock in their aromatic potential. PARADAI maintains a clean ingredient list, using only cacao nibs and organic sugar. By excluding additives like lecithin, vanillin, or vegetable fats, the maker ensures that the distinct character of Thai cacao remains the centerpiece. Their commitment to quality has been recognized globally with multiple accolades, including Gold and Silver awards from the Academy of Chocolate in 2023.
