Amargo Gran Cru 81% is an Italian bean-to-bar dark chocolate made with Criollo and Trinitario cacao from the Dominican Republic.
Vestri is an Italian bean-to-bar producer operating from Italy. This 50 g bar showcases cacao sourced from Hacienda Vista Alegre in the Dominican Republic, highlighting the specific origins of the Criollo and Trinitario bean varieties.
The Amargo Gran Cru 81% features a dark profile with flavour notes of licorice, rhubarb, and arabica coffee. The cacao undergoes a specific post-harvest protocol where beans are collected by hand, subjected to box fermentation in cabirma wooden crates, and sun dried. The ingredient list is minimal, consisting only of cocoa mass, brown sugar, and added cocoa butter, without any lecithin, vanilla, or non-cocoa vegetable fats.
The producer maintains a commitment to quality through organic certification and the use of direct-trade sourcing practices. Consumers with nut allergies should note that the bar is manufactured in a facility that also handles nuts.
