Sophisticated 70% dark chocolate from Toronto's SOMA, featuring rare Amelonado cacao from Vanuatu with notes of chocolate cake, tamarind, and fresh wood.
SOMA, also known as SOMA chocolatemaker, operates out of Toronto, Canada, as a dedicated bean to bar artisan. This particular bar represents their exploration of the South Pacific, specifically Malekula Island in Vanuatu. The cacao, an Amelonado variety, is the result of a collective effort where wet cacao is gathered from small farms surrounding Pinalum and brought to a central facility for expert processing.
The sensory journey of this 70% dark bar is defined by its award winning complexity, having earned a Silver award at the Academy of Chocolate in 2022. Refined in a melanger, the chocolate reveals a comforting base of chocolate cake and caramel. These deeper notes are punctuated by the vibrant acidity of lemons and tamarind, while a touch of fresh wood adds a sophisticated botanical edge to the finish.
SOMA utilizes direct trade relationships to source these beans, prioritizing transparency and craftsmanship. The cacao undergoes a rigorous 120 hour box fermentation followed by sun drying to stabilize and develop its flavor precursors. The ingredient list is focused and clean, containing only cocoa nibs, organic cane sugar, and cocoa butter, with a strict absence of lecithin, vanillin, or vegetable fats.
