Pump Street – PISA, Haiti 63% Milk

Description

Unfortunately this bar is no longer available in our Library. Please see below for four bars that we think you will enjoy.

After a career at IBM, international jet-setter Chris Brennan briefly retired before deciding to pioneer the making of sourdough and other breads in his idyllic countryside bakery in Orford, Suffolk. Chris decided to delve into crafting award-winning chocolate, along with his daughter Joanna, in their eponymous bakery situated on Pump Street.

For this milk chocolate, the cacao is sourced from the Pisa co-operative in Haiti. Indeed, this is Pump Street’s first bar crafted from Haitian beans.  Pisa works by purchasing and centrally fermenting wet cacao direct from the farmers, and as a result are able to sell it at a higher price for its higher quality. Thanks to Pisa’s work and focus on quality, the farmers are now earning approximately four-times as much as they would have before Pisa.

This 63% dark milk chocolate is zingy and rich. During the melt, the chocolate bursts of rich lemon curd and buttercream icing amongst a bold chocolate and caramel flavour. This bar is not too sweet, but with Pump Street’s signature creamy texture, this bar is ever so indulgent.
