Liquorice & Smoked Salt

Standout Chocolate is a Sweden-based craft producer dedicated to the meticulous art of bean-to-bar chocolate making. By maintaining control over every step of the process, they honor the unique characteristics of their raw materials. This specific bar is crafted using exceptional single-estate cacao from the Hacienda Victoria farm located in the Guayas region of Ecuador.

The foundation of this bar is the Arriba Nacional bean, celebrated for its complex floral and deep profiles. These beans are fermented in wooden boxes and sun-dried before being refined in a melanger to achieve a specific texture. The resulting chocolate is a 67% dark blend that presents a full-bodied, earthy, and smoky sensory experience, elevated by the intentional addition of ground liquorice root and smoked salt.

Quality and transparency are central to the identity of this producer. The bar is certified organic, reflecting a commitment to natural farming and processing standards. Its distinguished profile has been recognized by several industry bodies, receiving accolades such as the Academy of Chocolate Silver award and a Great Taste Star.
