Fruition – Peru, Dark Milk 56% with Spring Salt

About the bar

This is a a 56% dark milk chocolate made from fine Peruvian cocoa beans and enhanced by a touch of spring salt from the Sacred Valley of Peru. The smooth and creamy texture is complemented by a deeply chocolatey flavour with natural fruity notes and just a hint of a liquorice.

This is the kind of chocolate that demands to be savoured, but disappears all too quickly.

About the maker

Based in the Catskill Mountains of New York State, Fruition was founded in 2011 by Pastry Chef Bryan Graham. Bryan got his love for baking from his grandmother, who taught him how to harvest the juiciest berries for use in making pies, tarts, jams, and jellies. He became an apprentice Pastry Chef at 16, Assistant Pastry Chef at 17, and Pastry Chef at 18, before joining the CIA (Culinary Institute of America) five years later.

The beans

The beans in this bar are an heirloom variety grown in the heart of Peru, near the beautiful mountains of the Junin region. They are grown by the women-led CAC Pangoa cooperative, which was founded in 1977 to organise and educate the region’s coffee growers. As the coffee plants have aged, the cooperative’s farmers have increasingly turned to fine-flavour cocoa as a sustainable and safe replacement.
