Colombia Antioquia Maceo (Dark)

This bar is crafted with freshly pressed Boyaca cocoa butter for intense single origin flavor and exceptional smoothness.  We’re one of the only chocolate makers in the country to press our own cocoa butter, and it makes a world of difference in flavor.

You will love the full and balanced body. Clear notes of cocoa, followed by an explosion of citrus, dry fruit, and ending with walnuts provides tremendous chocolate flavor, a wonderfully creamy, yet rich, cocoa taste experience.

STORY: Colombia was originally known for its Criollo varieties which were slowly replaced by modern hybrid Trinitario varieties. Nowadays, Colombia is actively seeking to bring cacao to the same legendary levels as its coffee. FEDECACAO (the Colombian Federation of Cacao) and other organizations have been supporting efforts to plot genetic varieties in the country, improve genetic stocks and to further improve fermentation and drying techniques in areas where it is needed.

This cacao is collected in Maceo, a small cacao growing town in Antioquia, from its central fermentary and from smallholder farmers who ferment and dry their cacao individually. Cacao from this region is low in cadmium.

HARVEST: December – January; July- August (crop peaks)

GENETICS: Local Trinitario hybrids

POST HARVESTING PROCESS: Cacao is fermented in wooden boxes in a period of 5 to 7 days and put to dry on wooden tables in solar tunnels or on stacked wooden drying trays.

FLAVOUR: Medium body with bright acidity; Notes of cocoa, citrus, dry fruit, and walnuts
