ICA Winners – Milk Bars Box

Description

On 21st June 2022, the International Chocolate Awards announced this year’s winners of the European, Middle Eastern and African Bean-to-Bar Competition. Among the winners, there were a handful of milk chocolate bars that we thought were really worth a try! 

But don’t just take our word for it – we’ve created our very own ICA milk chocolate box to make it easier for you to sample some of these winning bars, so you can discover their delectable, smooth flavours for yourself.

Casa Cacao – Hacienda Victoria, Ecuador 55% Goat’s Milk

This milk chocolate, made from Ecuadorian beans grown on the Hacienda Victoria plantation, uses goat’s milk, and has a buttery, fudgy texture with hints of toasted caramel.

Fjak – Bejofo Estate, Madagascar 60% Dark Milk

The beans in this bar are sourced from Bertil Akesson’s estate in Madagascar. This dark milk chocolate is a very creamy bar. It offers the fruitines from the Bejofo Estate cacao, with a mineral-richness. 

Standout – Sambirano Valley, Madagascar 60% Dark Milk

This 60% dark milk chocolate is thick in texture, with a fruity complex flavour. It’s an incredibly interesting milk chocolate bar, with little bitterness and lots of creaminess. Fredrik has coaxed out the awesome fruity and citrus notes of the Madagascan cacao.

Krak Chocolade – Sierra Nevada, Colombia 55% Dark Milk

Fudgy, rich and spiced. Krak has crafted an incredibly moreish dark milk chocolate bar. It’s not too sweet and you can taste the delicate nuances of the cacao, from the almonds to nutmeg and cinnamon to the tropical fruits. This is a chocolate bar that keeps on giving on flavour.
