Maya Mountain 70%

Produced by the Swedish bean-to-bar artisan Standout Chocolate, the Maya Mountain 70% is a standout piece in their Single Origin Collection. Based in Sweden, the maker focuses on highlighting the intrinsic character of the cacao through precise, small-batch processing that respects the integrity of the raw materials.

This bar showcases the vibrant profile of Trinitario cacao grown in the Maya Mountain region of Belize. The sensory experience is defined by a sophisticated range of notes, spanning from deep, comforting chocolate brownie and buttery undertones to brighter flashes of blackberry, raisin, and floral honey. The beans undergo a careful 6-7 day fermentation in wooden boxes to ensure the final bar balances this complexity with a clean, smooth melt.

The composition is intentionally minimalist, relying on only two components: organic cacao beans and organic cane sugar. This focused approach to craftsmanship has earned the bar significant recognition in the specialty world, including the prestigious Golden Bean award at the 2021 Academy of Chocolate Awards.
