Forever Cacao – Coconut Milk 55%

Description

This is a vegan ‘milk’ chocolate that has been crafted using coconut milk instead of dairy. The sweet flavour of the coconut comes through giving the bar a refreshing floral note. The unroasted Peruvian cocoa beans have an earthy, grassy profile, that mixes with the much lighter sugared flavours of the coconut.  Both rich and cooling, the chocolate bar finishes with an earthy sweetness.

Pablo Spaull crafts his unroasted chocolate deep in the Welsh countryside. For all his bars he uses Peruvian beans that, with the help of Ecotribal, he buys directly from Ashaninka co-operatives. They live in the rainforest and on the banks of the Rio Ene. Growing cacao and coffee gives the Ashaninka a sustainable income and helps them preserve the rainforest.
