Description
This light roast dark chocolate bar from Fresco Chocolate is crafted with cocoa beans from the Öko Caribe based in Duarte, Dominican Republic.
They hand-selected the highest quality Organic and Fair Trade Öko Caribe cacao available for this unique chocolate. Days of stone grinding achieve a silky texture. Next, the chocolate is heated, mixed and aerated, this is conching. Our medium conche step mellows each flavor note, creating a smooth blend reminiscent of caramel and milk chocolate with subtle hints of red fruit and plum. A small amount of added cocoa butter enhances the chocolate’s silky texture as it melts on your palate.
