NearyNógs – Gorse Flowers and Irish Seaweed, Dark 70%

About the bar

We were so excited to try this unique combination and it did not disappoint. Inspired by NearyNógs’ stunning Irish surroundings, the incredible earthy base is accentuated beautifully by the subtle coconut flavour of the gorse flowers and the saltiness of the seaweed. Subtle hints of juniper flow through as the thick chocolate melts away.

About the maker

NearyNógs was founded in 2011 by the husband-and-wife team of Shane and Dorothy Neary. Situated in County Down at the base of the Mourne Mountains and overlooking the Irish Sea, NearyNógs is dedicated to bringing you delicious, ethically sourced chocolate flavoured with the finest local ingredients.

The beans

This Dúlamán bar is part of the company’s Irish Collection. The beans in this bar are Heirloom designated Arriba Nacional beans, grown on Samuel Von Rutte’s Hacienda Limon estate in the Guayas Basin, Ecuador. Unusually, Samuel pre-dries the cocoa seeds before fermentation, which reduces both acidity and bitterness and contributes to their rich and nutty caramel profile.
