Baer 60%

Saraam is an artisan bean-to-bar chocolate maker based in Udaipur, India. By managing the production process from raw cocoa beans to the final bar, the maker maintains oversight over the transformation of local Indian ingredients.

The Baer 60% bar incorporates dried baer, a fruit native to the region, alongside cocoa beans, cocoa butter, and raw cane sugar. This inclusion-style bar presents a profile defined by stone fruits, specifically plum and cherries, with an additional note of jamun, which provides a distinctively local botanical character to the 70 gram bar.

Sourcing focuses on Indian cocoa, reflecting the maker's commitment to highlighting the regional terroir of the subcontinent. The production philosophy centers on small-batch processing to ensure the nuances of the beans and the added fruit remain prominent in the final product.
