A 75% dark chocolate bar from Toronto-based SOMA, featuring roasted cacao nibs and nuanced flavor notes of coconut cream pie, fig, and pink grapefruit.
Abstract Chocolate Science with Roasted Cacao Nibs is produced by SOMA, a prominent bean-to-bar maker based in Toronto. The laboratory-inspired name reflects the maker's experimental approach to cocoa processing, where technical precision meets a desire to highlight the intrinsic qualities of the bean. Operating as a small-batch artisan, the maker focuses on controlled refinement to shape the final texture and profile of their chocolate.
This 75% dark chocolate bar prioritizes a minimalist ingredient list consisting only of cocoa nibs, organic cane sugar, and cocoa butter. It contains no lecithin, vanillin, or added vegetable fats. The sensory experience is marked by specific notes of coconut cream pie, fig, pink grapefruit, brownies, and rum. The addition of roasted cacao nibs introduces a distinct texture that contrasts with the smooth finish of the bar, which earned recognition at the 2018 International Chocolate Awards.
The production process remains centered on the integrity of the raw material. By keeping the ingredient list short and avoiding additives, the maker allows the natural characteristics of the cacao to emerge during the stone grinding and conching stages. The result is a 65-gram bar that emphasizes clarity of flavor, balancing the sweetness of organic cane sugar with the deeper, earthier components of the roasted nibs.
