Kerala 81%

Pascati is a bean-to-bar chocolate maker operating out of Wada, Maharashtra. As one of the first producers in India to obtain organic and Fairtrade certifications, the maker maintains control over the full production cycle, transforming raw cacao into finished bars within their facility.

The Kerala 81% bar focuses on the specific character of cacao grown in the southern Indian state of Kerala. The production relies on a melanger to refine the ingredients, which consist of organic cocoa nibs, organic sugar, and organic cocoa butter. This method focuses on a precise balance of the 81% cacao content to ensure a consistent texture in the final 75 gram bar.

Ethics serve as a pillar for the brand, reflected in the use of certified organic ingredients and adherence to Fairtrade standards. By sourcing directly and managing the processing locally in Maharashtra, the maker emphasizes a traceable supply chain for their single-origin output.
