Idukki 60%

Standout Chocolate, based in Sweden, is a dedicated bean-to-bar maker that emphasizes the raw potential of exceptional cacao. Their Idukki 60% bar shines a light on a unique Indian origin, working closely with the GoGround team to secure high-quality beans from the Idukki region. As an organic-certified producer, they maintain a transparent connection to their source, ensuring the integrity of the harvest is preserved from the farm to the bar.

This dark milk chocolate occupies a sophisticated middle ground, offering the creaminess of milk chocolate with the intensity of a 60% cacao profile. To coax out the best flavors, the beans undergo a careful six-day fermentation in wooden boxes, followed by a gentle shade-drying process. The result is refined in a melanger, creating a silky texture that allows the natural character of the Indian cacao to take center stage.

The composition is intentionally simple, highlighting high-quality cacao beans, cane sugar, milk powder, and added cacao butter for a luxurious mouthfeel. This commitment to craftsmanship has not gone unnoticed by the industry, with the bar earning prestigious accolades such as a Bronze medal at the 2022 Academy of Chocolate Awards and a Gold Star at the Great Taste Awards. It is a standout example of how precise, small-batch processing can elevate specific regional profiles.
