A 47% milk chocolate bar from Toronto maker SOMA, featuring Jamaican cacao from St. Thomas Parish infused with brown butter and rum.
SOMA is an artisan chocolate maker based in Toronto, Canada. Since its inception, the company has operated as a bean-to-bar producer, managing the transformation of raw cacao into finished bars within its own facility. The team focuses on small-batch production, allowing for precise control over the character of each release.
The Brown Butter Rum bar is a 47% milk chocolate crafted from cacao harvested in the St. Thomas Parish of Jamaica. The beans undergo a traditional protocol, being fermented in cedar boxes before being sun-dried on wooden decks. This specific bar incorporates brown butter, rum, sea salt, and natural vanilla to create a textured profile that balances the creamy nature of milk chocolate with the spirit-forward notes of rum and toasted butter.
The consistency and flavor profile of this bar have earned recognition on the global stage. It has secured various accolades, including silver and gold honors from the International Chocolate Awards. The formulation relies on a blend of organic cane sugar, skim milk powder, and cocoa butter, combined with the other flavor components to achieve its distinctive character.
