Kankel – Paquibato, Phillipines 100%

Description

TASTING NOTES

This bold and intense 100% dark bar from Kankel is simply outstanding – the bar has barely any bitterness, incredible complexity and a great length.

ABOUT THE MAKER

The world of bean-to-bar chocolate has always been a passion for Juan Ángel Rodrigálvarez, a Spanish pastry chef with more than 30 years of experience. After spending many years tasting bars and educating others on what good chocolate really is, Juan decided he could give far more to the world by producing his very own chocolate. One of Kankel’s most principal philosophies is respect for the product, the plantations, and the land that gives the cocoa beans; thus, Kankel’s bars only use ethically-sourced, sustainable, and organic cacao.

THE BEANS

The beans for this bar are grown and harvested by local farmers in Tupi, South Cotabato. The beans themselves are a Creole Trinitarian hybrid, which are native to the Davao area.
