Pistachio Saffron Milk 45%

Produced by Soklet, a maker based in India, this bar represents a tree-to-bar approach that begins directly at the source. The cacao is cultivated at the Regal Plantation, located in the Anamalais foothills of Tamil Nadu. By controlling the production process from the farm to the finished bar, the maker maintains a direct link to the regional terroir of South India.

The 45% milk chocolate base is formulated with cane sugar, cocoa butter, and skimmed milk powder. This composition provides a foundation for the inclusion of pistachios and saffron, resulting in a sensory profile defined by toasted milk, nutty pistachio, and aromatic saffron.

The ingredients reflect a focus on adding culinary elements to high-quality cacao. As this bar contains milk and nuts, it is suitable for those without specific allergies, though it may contain traces of peanuts. The process prioritizes the integration of these flavors into the milk chocolate structure rather than overwhelming the cacao base.
