A 70% dark chocolate bar from Tanzania featuring notes of stone fruit, chocolate cake batter, cashews, and roasted barley.
The Mbingu, Tanzania 70% bar highlights specific agricultural practices from the Kilombero Valley. Produced as a dark chocolate bar, it represents a commitment to pure ingredients, containing only organic cocoa beans, organic cane sugar, and cocoa butter. It excludes additives like lecithin, PGPR, vanillin, and alkalized cocoa.
The flavor profile is defined by a distinct range of fruity and savory notes, including peaches, cherries, and plums, grounded by base tones of chocolate cake batter, cashews, and roasted barley. This output is achieved through a controlled processing protocol where beans undergo fermentation in three-tier cascade boxes for 6 days, followed by sun-drying on raised tables for 5-7 days.
The sourcing process focuses on the Mbingu region within the Kilombero Valley of Tanzania. The quality and production style have been recognized by the International Chocolate Awards, where the bar achieved a World Silver award in the 2021-22 cycle.
