Cocoa Bean Origin: Maya Mountain, Belize
Notes: the beans for this bar come from Maya Mountain Cacao, Ltd., a social enterprise that buys freshly harvested, unfermented cocoa beans from indigenous Mayan smallholder farmers in southern Belize, then gathers the beans at a centralized fermentary in Punta Gorda. By fermenting and drying all the beans in one place, Maya Mountain Cacao carefully controls quality and flavour consistency in their cocoa, allowing them to fetch a high price. This in turn empowers them to pay farmers extremely well for their beans.
While the origin is known for berry notes, we conche batches at higher temperature, for a bolder chocolate flavour.
