Colombia 70%

Taucherli is an organic-certified, bean-to-bar chocolate maker operating from the outskirts of Zurich, Switzerland. As an artisan producer, the company maintains a small-scale focus on the production process to ensure the specific characteristics of their sourced beans remain intact throughout the transformation from raw cacao into finished bars.

The Colombia 70% bar utilizes Criollo beans harvested from Hacienda Betulia in the Antioquia region of Colombia. The processing protocol begins with a 120-hour box fermentation, followed by 14 days of sun-drying on wood. During manufacture, the beans are refined in a melanger and subjected to a quantitative conching process. The ingredient list is limited to cocoa beans, sugar, and cocoa butter, intentionally excluding vanillin, lecithin, and vegetable fats. These methods highlight a profile of chocolate cake, raisins, plum, mocha, and tobacco.

Sourcing practices prioritize transparency and quality, reflecting the artisan nature of the production facility. While the bars are processed with care to preserve flavor, the manufacturer notes that this product may contain traces of nuts and milk due to the shared environment in which the chocolate is produced.
