Ecuador 70% Pure, The Heart of Cacao

Ecuador 70% Pure

Ecuador 70% Pure is a standout creation from The Heart of Cacao, a dedicated bean-to-bar maker based in the Netherlands. By controlling every stage of the process from the initial roast to the final tempering, this producer highlights the raw potential of their ethically sourced ingredients. Their commitment to the craft has earned international recognition, including a Bronze award at the 2023 Academy of Chocolate.

The soul of this bar lies in its specific origin: the Los Rios region of Ecuador. The makers utilize the prestigious Arriba Nacional bean variety, known for its complex floral and fruity notes. To preserve these delicate characteristics, the beans are sun-dried and undergo a light roast before being stone-ground. This artisanal method creates a texture that feels authentic and rustic, allowing the natural depth of the cacao to shine through without being overpowered by excessive processing.

Simplicity is the guiding philosophy here. The formulation is intentionally minimal, containing only cacao beans and organic cane sugar. By limiting the ingredient list, the maker ensures that the character of the Ecuadorian soil remains the focus of the tasting experience. It is a clean, honest representation of a single origin, crafted for those who appreciate the subtle interplay between high-quality fermentation and careful, small-batch refinement.
