TASTING NOTES
Cacao pulp is the sweet white mucilage that surrounds the seeds inside a cocoa pod. It’s the only part of the fruit that is pleasant to eat raw, and gives a pleasant tropical tartness with hints of lychee, guanabana, citrus and banana.
Organic Ecuadorean cacao fruit purée has been combined with smooth 73% dark Peruvian chocolate to form these wonderfully complex dark chocolate clusters, which come in packs of 3.
