Ruket - Dak Lak 78% Dark Chocolate - Vietnam
$ 14.00
Artisanal, single origin, stone-ground 78% chocolate bar made with cacao from the central highlands of the Đắk Lắk province in Vietnam. Its higher elevation, basaltic soil, and cooler temperatures result in a unique, flavorful terroir.
Ahn Em Cacao has been harvesting hybrid trinitario beans from the Mekong region since 2017. They are dedicated to the improving the aromatic potential of cocoa beans produced in Dak Lak, by researching microbial biodiversity and post-harvest processes. Fermentation takes place in wooden boxes for 5 days. Beans are turned three times between 48 and 96 hours and then they are dried in the sun for at least 7-10 days.
Ruket Chocolate manually sorts, toasts at a low temperature and stone grinds beans for 72 hours. After the finished bars are matured for 2 months, they are packaged by hand.
