Hasnaâ – Flor de Pancasán, Nicaragua, Dark 72%

Description

TASTING NOTES

This rich 72% dark chocolate is a joy to taste – the bar is extremely chocolatey, with a buttery mouthfeel and subtle notes of coffee.

ABOUT THE MAKER

Founded in 2012, Hasnaâ Chocolats Grands Crus was born after Hasnaâ Ferrerira decided to embark on a training course as a Chocolatier-Confectioner. Having started producing bars in her very own chocolate factory just two years later in Bordeaux, Rue Fondaudège, Hasnaâ has since opened two chocolate boutiques in Bordeaux and one in Arcachon. Hasnaâ launched her very own bean-to-bar chocolate range, La Fèverie, in 2018 – today, a number of these bars have won awards from the International Chocolate Awards, the Academy of Chocolate Awards, the Gourmet Selection and the Great Taste Awards.

THE BEANS

The Flor de Pancasán cooperative in Matagalpa, central Nicaragua, was founded in 2006 to provide small-holder coffee and cocoa farmers access to the worldwide markets. Today, the cooperative has 299 members, 104 of which are women and 195 of which are men, and produces approximately 100 tonnes of cocoa per annum.
