Chocolarder – Spruce Shoots Dark 70% (Limited Edition)

About the bar

This 70% dark bar from Chocolarder with spruce shoots offers a unique flavour profile, with subtle mushroomy and vegetal notes. The smooth chocolate transitions into a gentle sweetness that lingers towards the end. There’s a hint of mineral water freshness and a herbal undertone. As there is little astringency, this bar leaves your mouth watering, allowing the subtle layers of spruce shoot to shine without overpowering the palate.

About the maker

Chocolarder crafts its chocolate in Falmouth, Cornwall. Chocolarder’s exciting line of fine single-origin bars and delightfully innovative locally-inspired inclusions use only top quality ingredients that succeed in doing better for the environment and the communities at their source. The whole company has at its heart an ethos of “ethical transparency”. Mike Longman – founder and chocolate maker – is unwavering in his commitment to a truly transparent and sustainable production process, even to the point of transporting his beans to Falmouth by sailboat.

The beans

The beans for this bar were sourced from the Seram Islands, Indonesia. A region characterised by thick forests and nicknamed “spice islands” for the array of spices they produce. This remote cocoa-producing region produces beans with notes of spice, coffee, dried fruits and a rich nuttiness.
