Land – Hacienda La Carrera, El Salvador, Dark 72%

About the bar

This rich 72% dark bar from Land has a wonderfully earthy flavour, with tasting notes of orange blossom, peanuts, and wood.

About the maker

Land Chocolate is East London’s up and coming chocolate maker. Currently a one-man show, Land is the brainchild of Phil Landers. Phil worked for BBC radio for a number of years before discovering cacao on a trip to Central America. On his return, Phil quit his radio career and started working as a shop assistant for Paul A. Young, all the while experimenting and making chocolate at home. Phil then joined Mast’s London flagship workshop before starting out on his own in early 2016.

The beans

The beans for this bar were grown at the Hacienda La Carrera plantation in El Salvador. Some of the cocoa trees varieties on the plantations after over 100 years old, so it follows that a family of cocoa trees that have spent such time on earth deserve a long name: trinitarios finos de Aroma y criollo.
