Truly Craft Chocolate, a bean-to-bar chocolate maker from Munich (Germany), is releasing a limited edition, single origin chocolate using fine flavor cocoa beans from Edelweiss Comercial. This is a rare selection of very high quality beans from the Northern coastline of the Dominican Republic, between Puerto Plata and Gaspar Hernandez. Flavor characteristics are of intense dried fruit flavors, with hints of raisin and plum, and a nutty, creamy caramel finish.
The beans are sourced from a network of roughly 30 organic smallholder farming families who benefit from being paid not only a higher price but also receiving access to the market, and capacity building initiatives on the ground. The cacao is centrally fermented and dried in a post harvesting facility which ensures a homogenous fermentation in a well-controlled environment, which leads to better quality beans.
You can order the chocolate for a limited amount of time via their online shop.
