Ransiki 72%

Taman is an artisan producer operating out of Zagreb, Croatia, dedicated to the meticulous craft of small batch chocolate making. This specific 72% dark bar highlights the unique terroir of West Papua, Indonesia. The maker focuses on showcasing the inherent characteristics of the region, utilizing a blend of Trinitario, Forastero, and Amelonado cacao varieties from the 2022 harvest to create a 45 gram bar of distinct character.

The sensory experience of the Ransiki expression is defined by a deep and complex profile. It leads with rich cocoa notes followed by a sophisticated interplay of floral and fruity tones. Subtle spicy, nutty, and woody undertones emerge during the melt. These nuances are a direct result of a careful 50 hour conching process and a medium roast level that balances intensity with structural elegance.

Precision in post-harvest processing defines this bar's foundations. The beans undergo a six day fermentation in wooden boxes before being sun dried on raised tables in their origin region. Taman maintains a clean ingredient philosophy, using only cocoa beans, cocoa butter, and unrefined cane sugar. The recipe contains no lecithin or vanillin, a purity of composition that helped earn a Bronze award at the International Chocolate Awards Europe 2021-2022.
