ABOUT THE MAKER
Based among the beautiful inlets and mountains between Seattle and Vancouver, Fresco Chocolate aims to apply the scientific method to chocolate making. Rob Anderson, a computer scientist from Southern California, founded the business in 2010 after a series of inspirational visits to the legendary Scharffen Berger chocolate factory in Berkeley. His experiments change one variable at a time: origin, cocoa percentage, roast time, conche time. Many craft makers do the same before picking their favourite combination and sticking with it. But not Rob. Rob is unique in releasing many variations, so you can see for yourself the profound impact such subtle changes can have on the final flavour.
ABOUT THE BEANS
The Lamas Province is in the northern region of Peru known as San Martin. This area of the Peruvian Amazon is home to a cooperative of cacao farmers known as Oro Verde, who produce fine-flavour beans of exceptional quality. With herbal and green notes, with green banana-like tannins, this cacao is rich but gentle.

What do other people who've discovered Fresco - San Martin, Peru Dark Roast, Medium Conche have to say?
I am new to real chocolate having just learnt about it from the Zoe app. I find myself drawn repeatedly back to this Fresco bar. I am really appreciating now the earthy tones of it which seemed strange at first. It takes a while longer than I am used to to melt in the mouth but it is so worth the wait. There is a real depth of flavour, layers of it, though I'm not able to name all that I taste. My sense is though that this is something really special.
