Description
SIZE: 3 x 24g Bar
SOURCE: We source the cacao for this bar from the Ben Tre Province a triangle of land where the Mekong River Delta meets the ocean. The land is barely above sea level, netted with rivers and canals, connected by bridges an ferry boats. Cacao trees grow on narrow banks between irrigation canals, shaded by the large leaves of the ever-present coconuts.
FLAVOR: In this chocolate the flavor of the coconut whose canopy shade the cacao is aparentand complimented by the spicy aroma of Chinese cinnamon and white peppercorn.
SINGLE ORIGIN CHOCOLATE: Our Single Origin chocolate bars are made with cacao sourced from six provinces in southern Vietnam. The climate, soil, and water of each province (call it terroir if you want) as well as the mix of cacao varieties and post-harvest practices contribute to the different flavors of each origin, which in turn make the different flavours of each bar.
BEAN TO BAR MANIFESTO: In 2011, when we came up with the peculiar idea to make chocolate using only Vietnamese cacao and to manufacture it in Ho Chi Minh City. We had never heard the term, “bean-to-bar”, but we soon did and all of a sudden felt like we were part of something larger than just creating a local food business. We roast the cream of each crop of Cacao in small batches.
