Bare Bones – Chantaburi, Thailand 75% Dark bar (Christmas Special)

About the bar

Where most makers add festive inclusions to their Christmas bars, Bare Bones find cocoa beans which feature classic Christmassy flavour notes and work their magic to pull them out. So this is just two ingredients – cocoa and sugar – but tastes of orange peel, stewed fruits and cashews.

About the beans

The Chanthaburi Province in Eastern Thailand is home to a farm run by Khun Suriya Chaisutti and his wife Boom Khun. Amongst the furian and mangosteen trees, the Chumphon 1 hybrid cacao variety grows. It was developed in the early 90s by the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives, and chosen as the best variety to come out of their trials with cocoa from Malaysia, the Tropical Horticulture Research Station in Florida, and the University of Reading.

About the maker

Bare Bones Chocolate was founded in Glasgow in 2018 by Lara and Cameron, two craft chocolate lovers who decided to try their hand making their own. The results speak for themselves! Multiple successes at the International Chocolate Awards and Great Taste Awards have followed, and their beautiful packaging, made from recycled paper coffee cups and repurposed food waste, highlights their commitment to great taste while protecting the planet and its people.
