Mexico 90%

Videri Chocolate Factory is a bean to bar maker based in the United States, operating with a focus on transparency and high quality craftsmanship. For this intense 90 percent expression, they utilize cacao sourced from the historic Soconusco region of Chiapas, Mexico. This 60 gram bar serves as a focused study on one of the world's most storied cacao growing regions, presented in a sleek black pouch with the maker's signature orange logo.

The sensory experience is defined by a high cacao concentration and a careful manufacturing process. Videri employs a light roast to preserve the delicate nuances of the beans, which are then refined using a melanger. The result is a profile dominated by the deep richness of baker's chocolate, layered with savory walnut and a hint of tart dried cherry. This profile is achieved through a minimalist recipe that avoids common additives like lecithin or vanilla.

This dark bar is formulated for the specialty enthusiast, containing only organic cocoa beans, cane sugar, and cocoa butter. It is notably clean, containing no vanillin or PGPR, ensuring an unadulterated taste. With a low sugar content of approximately 10.7 grams per hundred, the bar highlights the maker's commitment to highlighting the natural integrity and complex acidity of the Mexican origin.
