About
Chocolat Lait 52% Cacao
Shouka is a bean-to-bar chocolate maker established in the French Alps, operating workshops and locations in Chamonix, Lyon, and Annecy. The maker distinguishes itself as a torréfacteur d'altitude, or high-altitude roaster, where production processes are specifically adjusted to account for the atmospheric pressure and environmental conditions of the mountain climate.
The Chocolat Lait 52% Cacao bar showcases a specific expression of Venezuelan terroir, utilizing beans sourced from the Casa Franceschi farm lot in Arismendi, Sucre. With a cacao content of 52%, the inclusion of milk powder creates a bridge between the intensity of the bean and a creamy texture. The flavor profile is defined by notes of dried fruits and hazelnuts, a result of the careful roasting process. This bar received recognition with a Bronze medal at the 2025 International Chocolate Awards.
The composition of this bar is transparent, focusing on a short list of ingredients that includes cocoa beans, cane sugar, cocoa butter, and milk powder. By managing the production from raw bean to finished product within their alpine facilities, the maker maintains oversight of the transformation of the Casa Franceschi cacao.
