Dandelion – Togo 70%

Description

Togo Kpalimé dark chocolate from Dandelion.

The makers of Dandelion say:

Individual Togolese smallholder farmers not only grow and harvest their own cocoa but also carry out the entire fermentation and drying process. After harvesting and cracking the pods, the farmers pile the wet beans into piles and cover them with banana or plantain leaves. They then turn them every few days to ensure even fermentation. After fermentation and drying, Gebana (the Swiss company for sustainable supply chains) transports the cocoa from each farm to a central facility for sorting, blending, and packaging for export. We hope our new partnership with Gebana will flourish in the years to come.

To create this first-ever American bar made from Togolese beans, senior chocolate maker Pablo roasts the cocoa to enhance flavors reminiscent of natilla, a smooth Cuban custard he enjoyed as a child.

Ingredients: cocoa, cane sugar.
