About Guatemala Lachuá 70%
Standout Chocolate is a Swedish bean-to-bar maker dedicated to highlighting the nuanced character of single-origin cacao.
The Guatemala Lachuá 70% is a masterclass in minimalist craftsmanship. The flavor profile is remarkably complex, dancing between bright notes of citrus and strawberry, deep undertones of dark sugars, and a sophisticated finish reminiscent of black tea and tropical fruits. Its carefully controlled process, featuring 7 to 8 days of fermentation in wooden boxes followed by a gentle 7 to 10-day shade-drying period, ensures the bean's natural acidity and fruity vibrancy remain intact.
Commitment to the earth is central to the identity of this producer. The cacao used for this bar is certified organic, reflecting a philosophy that prizes environmental stewardship alongside flavor clarity. By controlling every step of the transformation from raw bean to finished bar, Standout Chocolate ensures that the purity of the Guatemalan harvest shines through in every 50-gram serving.
