Labooko Maya Cacao 100%

The Labooko Maya Cacao 100% is produced by Zotter, an established bean-to-bar maker based in Riegersburg, Austria. This specific bar showcases the intensity of unadulterated cacao, relying entirely on the natural qualities of the raw material rather than added sugar. The maker processes these beans in their own facility, maintaining a focus on transparency and craftsmanship from the initial selection of the harvest to the final tempered slab.

The flavor profile is defined by a blend of Trinitario and Acriollado cacao beans harvested from the Toledo District in Belize and the Itzá region in Guatemala. The beans undergo a traditional wooden box fermentation process and are sun-dried before being transformed. Upon tasting, the bar reveals an aromatic structure characterized by berries, cherries, and red fruit, balanced by spicy-nutty undertones and the dry, grounding finish of black tea. The manufacturing process excludes lecithin, vanillin, and vegetable fats, ensuring the natural oils and characteristics of the bean remain the primary focus.

Zotter maintains a rigorous approach to sourcing, with this bar holding both Organic and Fair Trade certifications. Each 65-gram bar represents a calculated effort to highlight the specific terroir of Central American cacao origins without the intervention of extra sweeteners.
