Soklet – Anamalai, India 100% Dark Chocolate

TASTING NOTES

Intense 100% dark chocolate is something we think everyone should try. Containing cocoa solids and nothing else, bars are packed full of antioxidants and hold the full richness of flavour naturally present in cocoa beans. This Indian chocolate has rich depths of earth, honey, and red fruit – perfect for 100% lovers and those looking for zero-sugar alternatives.

ABOUT THE MAKER

 In 2015, brothers-in-law Karthikeyan Palaniswamy and Harish Manoj Kumar decided over a few drinks that they would become India’s first ever tree-to-bar chocolate maker. Harish’s family has been growing cocoa on Regal Plantation since 2005, primarily as an “intercrop” to boost the farm’s healthy diversity, and then later as a valuable product in its own right. But they felt it wasn’t getting the recognition its beautiful flavour profile deserved. So they set out to change that – by producing bars full of flavour and brimming with quality.

THE BEANS

Every bean in Soklet’s bars started life on their plantations in the foothills of the Anamalai, close to the Indira Gandhi wildlife sanctuary in southern India. Grown without pesticides among the plantation’s other crops – coconut, pepper, nutmeg, and banana – this special Indian cocoa benefits from the diversity of wildlife and assumes a wonderfully nuanced flavour profile, holding onto the subtle aromas from its neighbouring plants.
