A sophisticated 50% milk chocolate from Parisian bean-to-bar maker Plaq, featuring rare Peruvian Gran Nativo Blanco cacao and rich sheep milk.
Gran Nativo Lait de Brebis represents a unique intersection of rare genetics and artisanal technique. Crafted in the heart of Paris by the bean-to-bar workshop Plaq, this bar highlights the distinct qualities of the Gran Nativo Blanco cacao variety. Sourced from the Piura region of Peru, these beans are treated with an extensive seven-day fermentation period in wooden boxes before being sun-dried to preserve their nuanced character.
The sensory experience is defined by the unconventional use of sheep milk, which provides a creamy, velvet-like texture that distinguishes it from traditional cow milk bars. With a 50% cacao content, the bar balances the inherent fruitiness and bright acidity of the Peruvian beans with the delicate, savory sweetness of the milk. The resulting profile is exceptionally smooth, inviting a slow melt that allows the complex flavor notes to evolve on the palate.
Their dedication to the craft has been recognized on the global stage, earning a Silver award at the 2022 Academy of Chocolate competition. This bar is fully certified organic, reflecting a meticulous approach to both raw material selection and the final expression of the chocolate.
