Chocokoo – PISA, Haiti, Dark 82%

About the bar

This 82% dark bar from Chocokoo has distinct notes of caramel, coffee and citrus. With a slight hint of astringency, this bar is perfect for those who enjoy the grittiness of high percentage bars.

About the maker

Wrapped in Nordic mittens, Chocokoo is Estonia’s first bean to bar chocolate maker. After Kristel Lankots wanted to radically change her life’s direction to do something she really loved and something that she could call her own, it meant moving away from her financial responsibility in the construction industry and into the world of chocolate-making. Equipped with a degree in economics and business management, Kristel founded Chocokoo with the aspiration to create something tangible from her hard work.

The beans

The cocoa for this bar was sourced from Produits des Iles SA (PISA), a central fermentery established in northern Haiti in 2012. PISA works with 1,104 small-scale farmers – 492 of whom are women – to pay premium prices for the unprocessed cocoa harvest and then processing it centrally, allowing farmers to earn more money for their quality beans.
