Nicaragua O'Tuma

Tërt is an Estonian bean-to-bar maker that focuses on small-scale production. Based in Estonia, the producer handles the transformation of raw cacao into finished bars with a minimalist approach, opting for 20g portions that allow for focused tasting.

This dark chocolate bar highlights the specific characteristics of beans grown in the O'tuma region of Nicaragua. The formulation relies on a short ingredient list comprising only cocoa beans, cane sugar, and cocoa butter. The production process intentionally avoids the use of lecithin, vanillin, and non-cocoa vegetable fats, ensuring the intrinsic qualities of the O'tuma harvest remain the primary focus.

The nutritional profile of this bar reflects its composition, containing 40.15g of fat and 33.8g of sugar per 100g. By keeping the ingredient list transparent and minimal, the maker allows the profile of the Nicaraguan origin to dictate the final sensory experience of the bar.
