About

Bourbon Cask Aged

The Bourbon Cask Aged bar represents a specialized approach to cacao processing, originating from Mbingu, Tanzania. This 82 percent dark chocolate is produced by utilizing beans that undergo a 6-day fermentation process in three-tier wooden boxes, followed by careful sun-drying on raised beds to preserve the character of the origin.

The defining characteristic of this bar is the aging process. The unroasted cacao nibs spend time resting in bourbon casks sourced from Berkshire Mountain Distillers before being refined in a melanger. This technique avoids the application of high heat, allowing the raw cocoa to integrate subtle aromatics of caramel, vanilla, and oak directly from the wood.

Beyond its processing methods, this bar meets several dietary standards, holding Organic, Non-GMO, Kosher, and Vegan certifications. The attention to detail in its production has been recognized by the industry, as evidenced by its Good Food Award status.
