Maya Mountain Belize 85%

The Maya Mountain Belize 85% is a masterful expression of craft chocolate, produced by Standout Chocolate in Göteborg, Sweden. As a bean-to-bar maker, Standout emphasizes a minimalist approach to production, focusing on the inherent characteristics of the raw ingredients rather than complex additives. This specific bar is crafted using only two ingredients: carefully selected cacao beans and sugar.

True to its name, this bar highlights the distinct terroir of the Maya Mountain region in Belize. The cacao undergoes a meticulous 7-day fermentation process in 3-tier cascade boxes before being sun-dried on wooden decks. This careful handling yields a sophisticated flavor profile defined by bright, refreshing notes of cranberry, wild strawberry, and a delicate hint of citrus. The 85% cacao content provides a robust foundation, allowing the nuanced fruit acids to linger on the palate.

Dedication to excellence is a core philosophy here, reflected in the bar's status as a certified organic product. This commitment to quality has earned the bar significant recognition on the global stage, including an Academy of Chocolate Bronze award in 2020 and an International Chocolate Awards European Silver in 2021.
