Santa Marta Chocolate Bar 71%, Colombia

Barre Clandestine Single Origin Dark Chocolate Flavor profile: gourmand, with notes of nougat and gingerbread. Sourced from the region described as the birthplace of Gabriel García Márquez's "magical realism" literary style, this cacao thrives in a unique terroir, nestled between the spectacular Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountain range and the Caribbean coast of Colombia. At the Barre Clandestine factory, these Santa Marta beans are gently roasted, slowly stone-ground, and aged for several weeks to develop indulgent notes reminiscent of nougat and gingerbread. Their chocolate won a silver medal at the prestigious Academy of Chocolate 2024.
