About the bar
This 70% dark bar is a Gold award winner from 2018. On first taste, we instantly fell in love with this chocolate. The flavour profile of this bar is foremost chocolatey, with then a hazelnut-edge. It is a bar that one can only describe as a chocolate brownie, with both its rich flavour and fudgy texture. Its aroma hits immediately with intensely chocolatey, fresh bread and warm treacle notes. The thicker mouth texture of this bar lends itself to a slow melt, making the enjoyment of the bar last for that little bit longer.
About the maker
Luisa Abram is a chocolate maker that dedicates itself to sourcing micro-lot, wildly grown cacao from the Amazon Rainforest. The chocolate is made small-scale in São Paulo, Brazil by the Abram-Banks family: Luisa, Andre, Mirian and Andrea. The family take a very hands-on approach to chocolate-making, controlling and overlooking every stage of the process, from the harvesting of the cacao to the finished bar and logistics. This explains why the chocolate tastes so good and so personal at the same time – quality is very important to Luisa Abram.
The beans
Luisa and her family use wild cacao sourced from small cooperatives in the upper basin of the Amazon. More specifically, Francisco (Bico) and his wife Iolanda, riverside dwellers from the Acará river, supply wild cacao growing on the banks of the Arauaia, Acará and Guamá rivers, from 10 riverside families.

Excellent. Fudgy, dense. Just how I like it. Unique but not too unique to turn you off. Finishes smoothly. Again I like that. I’d say it’s in my top 10 of all dark chocs.

Very creamy and fudgy. Notes of acacia honey. Not a lot of depth to it, but very enjoyable.
