Marañón Fortunato No. 4

Produced by the UK-based maker Solkiki, the Marañón Fortunato No. 4 is a testament to the revival of a rare cacao lineage. The beans belong to the Pure Nacional variety, a legendary genetic treasure once thought to be extinct. By working closely with the source, Solkiki ensures this heritage cacao is handled with the respect it deserves, from the meticulous fermentation process inside sealed buckets to the traditional sun-drying methods used to preserve the integrity of the harvest.

At 68% cacao, this bar offers a sophisticated sensory profile that highlights the craftsmanship involved in its creation. Solkiki utilizes a melanger for long-term refining, which coaxes out the bean's nuanced character. On the palate, expect a complex interplay of flavors: delicate honey and jasmine floral notes transition into the deeper, sweeter tones of raisins and dried fruit, rounded off by a bright, refreshing finish of pink grapefruit.

Solkiki maintains a firm commitment to integrity and transparency in their supply chain. Every 56-gram bar is crafted in alignment with strict ethical standards, carrying certifications for being vegan, organic, and direct trade. This approach ensures that the focus remains entirely on the relationship between the origin of the bean and the final, thoughtfully crafted chocolate bar.
