Spruce Shoots 66%

The Spruce Shoots 66% bar is an evocative example of craft chocolate making that bridges the gap between deep cacao tradition and forage-inspired innovation. Produced by Standout Chocolate, this bar finds its soul in the careful selection of beans sourced from Cap-Haitien, Haiti.

The sensory experience of this bar is defined by a meticulous manufacturing process. The beans undergo a 6-day wooden box fermentation before being sun-dried on racks, preserving the integrity of the harvest. Refined in a melanger, the chocolate achieves a smooth texture that allows the 66% cacao content to carry complex notes of forest, bright citrus, and fresh rosemary. The addition of spruce shoots provides an unexpected, resinous finish that balances the natural sweetness of the 33g of cane sugar per 100g.

This bar represents the high level of technical skill and creative vision present in modern craft chocolate. Its excellence was recognized on the world stage in 2021 when it earned a Silver award from the Academy of Chocolate. This accolade underscores the maker's commitment to quality from the post-harvest protocols in Haiti all the way to the final infusion of botanicals.
