About Barrel Aged 80%
Venchi is an industrial chocolate producer based in Italy. With a history rooted in Italian confectionery traditions, the brand operates on a global scale to produce a variety of chocolate products.
The Barrel Aged 80% bar is a dark chocolate blend that highlights intense post-harvest techniques. The cocoa beans undergo aging in Caribbean rum barrels and are treated with smoke, resulting in prominent flavour notes of toasted wood, smoked embers, and tobacco leaves. The recipe includes added cocoa butter, sugar, soy lecithin, and natural vanilla flavour.
This bar holds a Rainforest Alliance certification. The producer does not make direct-trade claims regarding its sourcing practices.
