Ecuador 80%, Tosier

Produced by Tosier, a UK-based bean-to-bar maker, this 80% cacao bar highlights the specific characteristics of Ecuadorian Nacional beans. The focus on single-origin sourcing allows the inherent qualities of the harvest to define the finished product, demonstrating a rigorous approach to small-batch production.

The processing protocol is precise, beginning with fermentation in three-tier wooden boxes for 5 to 7 days, followed by mechanical drying using palm husks. The beans undergo a light roast before being refined in a melanger. This technique results in a profile defined by aromatic notes of wood, cardamom, and toasted brioche.

Simplicity defines the ingredient list, which contains only cocoa beans, unrefined cane sugar, and cocoa butter. The quality of the production earned this bar a 2-star recognition at the Great Taste awards in 2022.
