A 70% dark chocolate bar from Willie's Cacao, featuring organic Criollo beans from Peru with distinct notes of raisins and plums.
Willie's Cacao, founded by Willie Harcourt-Cooze, represents a pioneering spirit in the United Kingdom chocolate scene. As a dedicated bean to bar manufacturer, the maker focuses on the unique characteristics of single estate beans. This specific bar, Chulucanas Gold 70%, highlights the rare Criollo variety sourced from the Chulucanas region of Peru. The producer is known for a hands-on approach that treats cacao as a fine ingredient rather than a mass commodity.
The experience of this 50 gram bar is defined by its purity and careful processing. By utilizing a light roasting method, the maker preserves the delicate, fruity nuances inherent in the Peruvian beans. Enthusiasts will notice immediate notes of raisins and plums, creating a bright and complex profile. The texture is achieved through traditional methods without the use of soy lecithin or vanillin, relying instead on cocoa mass, raw cane sugar, and cocoa butter to deliver a clean, velvety melt.
Sourcing is central to the Willie's Cacao philosophy. This bar is certified Organic, ensuring that the agricultural practices in Peru align with environmental standards. By focusing on specific regions like Chulucanas and identifying the exact bean variety, the producer provides a transparent link between the soil and the finished bar.
