Hogarth Black Velvet 72% Bar, 70g

From Nelson, New Zealand, Hogarth sources the highest quality cacao beans from around the world to create small batches of chocolate using traditional techniques. They sort, roast, crush and classify, winnow, grind and conche, age, melt, temper, mold, and wrap all by hand.
These beans from Hacienda Victoria, Ecuador, have low acidity and a smooth, strong cocoa flavour. They roast the beans lightly to protect the dried fruit and nutty notes, adding a hint of vanilla for sweetness.
