70% Uganda

Spinnaker Chocolate is an American bean-to-bar maker dedicated to the craft of transforming raw cacao into exceptional bars. Operating with a focus on single-origin transparency, they bridge the distance between the remote origins of their beans and the chocolate lover. Their 70% Uganda bar is a testament to this mission, highlighting the specific character of the Semuliki Forest region.

The sensory experience of this bar is defined by a meticulous light roast, which preserves the intrinsic, vibrant qualities of the Ugandan beans. With a clean ingredient list consisting solely of cacao and organic cane sugar, the profile remains pure and focused. The beans undergo a carefully monitored fermentation process in 500kg boxes for up to 6.5 days, followed by traditional sun-drying on raised racks, ensuring a refined, balanced intensity that earned a 2022 Academy of Chocolate Bronze award.

Spinnaker's approach centers on the integrity of the bean. This is chocolate for those who appreciate a focused, nuanced expression of origin, stripped of additives and defined by the precision of the maker.
