Claudio Corallo 80% Sable Dark Chocolate

A good way to try purer chocolate. The first bite immediately produces a tangible sensation of crisp sugar crystals, followed by the rich, powerful taste of the cacao. Then the sugar begins to melt, releasing its sweetness into the chocolate. Claudio Corallo makes this chocolate bar using cacao beans from Terreiro Velho, Principe Island, Africa and infuses it with sugar crystals. Claudio Corallo was the first chocolate maker to grown his own beans, initiating the "Farm to Bar" tradition. With over 40 years of experience in growing and producing chocolate and coffee, he is considered one of the highest experts in the matter. His farms are located in the two islands of Sao Tome and Principe in Africa, where the chocolate is produced on site. The cacao trees that Corallo grows on his plantation are the same plants that where shipped on the island by boat in 1819. Flavor Notes: Fermented profile, with wood bark aroma, a very pleasant and subtle mushroom flavor and earthy finish. Ingredient
