A 70% dark chocolate with complex flavours of lemon, bread, cherries and chocolate brownie - from the exceptional Soma Chocolate Maker.

Ecuadorian chocolate typically impresses, but this particular bar has an exceptionally complex array of flavour notes of lemon, bread, cherries, balsamic vinegar, brownies, green bananas.

These beans are grown by Fredy Enrique Salazar where oranges, limes, lemons, plantain, bananas, guayaba, and papaya are grown interspersed with the cacao to reduce erosion on the steep terrain. Fredy passionately explains, “we also grow fruit because it feeds everyone on the farm”. Their land is beautiful — lush namesake emerald green hills layered in every direction.

Origin: Costa Esmeraldas, Ecuador
Cacao content: 70%
Bar Size: 65g

Costa Esmeraldas is a single estate cacao farm owned by the Salazar family on the NW coast of Ecuador. The steep 100-hectare site is planted with Nacional-Venezolano amarillo cacao. The pods are transported daily during harvest, beans meticulously fermented and sun-dried at their brand new post-harvest facility close to the farm.
