Maüa – Wasala, Nicaragua, Dark 70% with Flor Del Sal

About the bar

For this bar, Maüa’s Nicaraguan 70% dark chocolate has been combined with Mallorcan sea salt, which uplifts and compliments the nutty notes of the chocolate.

About the maker

Maüa was born in April 2020, from the love between Silvia Sánchez and Jaume Martorell Mir. The name ‘Maüa’ actually comes from a fusion of two very different origins – the ‘Ma-‘ of Maüa is taken from Mallorca, where Jaume is from, and the ‘-ua’ has been taken from Nicaragua, where Silvia is from. And it’s not just the name that demonstrates Silvia and Jaume’s roots – Maüa’s packaging (designed by Xisco Barceló, a recognized designer in Mallorca) is a mix between the traditional fabrics from Mallorca and indigenous fabrics from Nicaragua. Today, the pair are based in Mallorca, working alongside 6 employees as the very first bean-to-bar makers on the island.
