Description
This dark milk chocolate is all about the special cocoa. It comes from the Dominican Republic, and it is Nacional cocoa.
The seasoned lovers of quality chocolate will say…huh?
And here’s how it goes: Nacional is normally a cocoa variety, very delicate with beautiful flavor notes, that is very specific to Ecuador. But this cocoa was brought to the Dominican Republic in the 1970s and the company Rizek Cacao, which manages several cocoa farms in the Dominican Republic and works a lot with special cocoa varieties and specific fermentations, has further spread and planted the cocoa.
The flavor profile of the cocoa is shown as follows. As you can see, intense, floral, complex.

Only a few chocolate makers have managed to get their hands on this cocoa, and Fruition was one of the first. As we know Fruition, they make – we would almost say of course – a dark milk chocolate with it. A chocolate that is actually in line with pure chocolates in terms of percentage (68%), but with a small amount of milk added, for just a little softness, creaminess, and a nice balance. Very suitable for both milk chocolate and pure chocolate lovers. And for this specific bar also really for anyone who wants to taste something special. Nacional cocoa from the Dominican Republic, that in itself is already great to taste, especially since it has of course been fermented here with all the care and made into chocolate.
With flavour notes described elsewhere as plum, vanilla, raisin and citrus but instead of adding our own taste experience we like to leave it a bit open – there is a lot to taste, the balance is very nice, and instead of looking for the different flavours that you recognise it is also nice to be overwhelmed by the fine balance and just think… delicious.
