Standout – Lachua, Guatemala 70% Dark

Standout – Sambirano Valley, Madagascar 70% Dark

This 70% dark chocolate has a crisp citrus acidity with notes of pineapple and grape. It’s creamy in mouthfeel and Fredrik crafts his chocolate to have an amazing cooling melt.

Standout Chocolate – PISA Coop, Haiti 60% Dark Milk

On taste, this dark chocolate bursts with rich sultana and dried fruit notes, with quite the “Madagascar” quality within the bar. The melt and texture is smooth, with a nutty finish.
