72%, Racine Carrée

Name: 72%
Brand: Racine Carrée
Rating: 4.5 (2 reviews)

Racine Carrée is an artisan bean-to-bar workshop located in Saint-Jeannet, France. Founded by Matéo Cosnefroy, the operation manages the complete production cycle, from sourcing raw cacao to the final temper. The project focuses on small-scale production, emphasizing control over every stage of the manufacturing process to highlight the specific character of the chosen origin.

This 72% dark chocolate is crafted exclusively from two ingredients: Trinitario cocoa beans and sugar. The beans are sourced from San Jose de Sisa, Peru, where they undergo a 6-day fermentation period in wooden boxes before being sun-dried on racks. This specific processing results in a flavor profile characterized by bright acidity and fruit-forward notes of passion fruit, morello cherry, and pear.

The bar carries organic certification and reflects a commitment to quality that has been recognized at the industry level. In 2023, the bar earned a World Silver award at the International Chocolate Awards. Each 60-gram bar serves as a demonstration of the results achieved when minimal processing is applied to high-quality Peruvian cacao.
