Ghana - Three Mountains 75%
Reminds Us Of: Fudgy, Candied Pear, and Licking a brownie batter spatula after fall soccer practice.
Nestled in the lush Mirissa Hills Forest Reserve of Ghana, our Three Mountains 75% chocolate bar is a testament to the rich cacao heritage of West Africa. This cooperative-produced chocolate brings together four distinct cacao varieties - Criollo, Amelonado, Forastero, and Trinitario - creating a complex and harmonious flavor profile.
The cacao for this bar is harvested between October and March, when the pods reach their peak ripeness. Following harvest, the beans undergo a meticulous fermentation process. Each batch is individually fermented in heaps, with banana or plantain leaves serving as both base and cover. This traditional method imparts unique flavors to the beans while ensuring optimal fermentation.
After fermentation, the beans are sun-dried on raised platforms, allowing for even drying and preserving the delicate flavors developed during fermentation. This careful process results in a chocolate with deep, fudgy notes complemented by hints of candied pear.
But what truly sets this chocolate apart is its ability to evoke nostalgia. With each bite, you're transported back to those crisp fall afternoons after soccer practice, when licking the brownie batter spatula was the ultimate reward. This 75% dark chocolate bar manages to capture that moment of pure, unadulterated joy in a grown-up indulgence.
Our Ghana - Three Mountains 75% chocolate is proudly organic certified, reflecting our commitment to sustainable and environmentally friendly cacao production. By choosing this bar, you're not only treating yourself to an exceptional chocolate experience but also supporting cooperative farmers and responsible agricultural practices in Ghana.
Indulge in a piece of this rich, complex chocolate and let its layered flavors take you on a journey from the Mirissa Hills to your fondest childhood memories.
