AWKI Chocolate Coin Collection

Compare chocolate coins sweetened with refined sugar with those made with only the cocoa pod, using cocoa pulp to provide sweetness.

Ecuadorian chocolate makers AWKI have designed their craft chocolate to be “divvyed up” and shared, so instead of bars it comes in small coins that they call divvys. And for some of their divvys, they use dried cocoa pulp as their source of sugar.

Comparing these ‘pure’ cocoa 75% chocolate divvys to their standard 75% divvys crafted with (flavourless) refined sugar is a great reminder of the magic in a cocoa pod. When you open a cocoa pod, you are confronted by a fleshy, gooey sweet pulp that surrounds incredibly bitter and astringent cocoa seeds. And these unappetising cocoa seeds are, via the magic of fermentation, transformed into cocoa beans packed with all the flavours we love in craft chocolate. These cocoa pulp sweetened “purity divvys” combine the nutty, woody and earthy notes of AWKI’s beans with the tropical fruit sweetness of the cocoa pulp.

Each of these smooth 75% dark chocolate coins depict the face of an Andean God, which helps connect you to AWKI’s ancestral Ecuadorian magic.

In this box you’ll find:

AWKI – Purity Divvy, Ecuador 75% Dark Coins with Cacao Pulp (25g)

These dark chocolate coins are made entirely from cocoa. Freeze-dried cacao pulp is added to sweeten the chocolate. So, technically, these coins are 100% cocoa! There are green, vegetal notes from the beans, with a strong, unique fruity flavour from the cacao pulp – think tangy guava or grapefruit.

AWKI – Divvy, Ecuador, Dark 75% Coins with Nibs (25g)

These dark chocolate coins have a fruity and floral aroma, with the nibs creating an interesting texture. They have the same green, vegetal notes as the other coins, but with the cleaner sweetness of refined sugar.
