About the bar
The cocoa used for this single origin chocolate bar is grown the the Oro Verde co-operative in the Andes. Craftsman Josef Zotter describes it as “The mildest cocoa I’ve ever come across – a mirror of the people who cultivate it. Gentle, balanced and genuinely native.”
About the maker
Josef Zotter is one of the long-established heroes of the craft chocolate movement. He has been producing chocolate since 1992, became famous for his wacky flavour combinations (scarlet runner bean and coriander pastry, anyone?), and was one of the earliest to produce 100% Organic and Fairtrade products. He has worked tirelessly to improve the lives of his growers around the world, engaging in numerous initiatives in Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia. He also runs an outstanding chocolate factory visitor experience – The Zotter Experience – that is a must-see for any chocolate-loving visitors to Austria.
The beans
The beans for this bar have an inherent fruity-spicy flavour profile, and they are roasted very slowly and at low temperatures. The nibs are then conched for 34 hours. Despite the long processing time, this chocolate remains very raw, wild and earthy. We found it to be a strong, intense and bitter 100% dark chocolate from Peru. One for those who like to live on the edge.

Unfortunately, this dark chocolate didn’t quite hit the mark for me. Instead of the rich, nuanced flavors I was hoping for, all I could taste was an overwhelming bitterness, almost like burnt notes. The intensity of the bitterness overshadowed any other flavours, leaving me disappointed. Regrettably, this one gets a pass from me.

Great choice for making milk-based hot chocolate (don’t use cream/double cream, chocolate itself is pretty fatty)

Well, the description did warn me… it certainly is bitter and tannic. I think this is only for seasoned 100% chocolate lovers who like their chocolate to really hit them in the tastebuds. The one positive effect is that it takes a long time to eat it. I bite off miniscule pieces and let it melt in my mouth. I’ve given it 3 stars because, although it’s not really my preference, it is as described. Interesting and pretty packaging too 🙂
