A rarity: this small, West African island is virtually unknown, but boasts a long and rich cacao tradition. The small farmers of the cooperative CECAQ 11 grow a unique island cacao shaped by its terroir, which has a very chocolatey and mildly fruity flavor. A single origin chocolate with a 75% cacao content, surprisingly mild for a dark chocolate, with a fruity-tropical aroma and an excellent melt.

Fragrance notes: fruity, dried apricots, baguettes
Taste notes: very mild for a dark chocolate, red cherries, beautiful roast aroma, good melt, notes of baguettes, slightly astringent finish.

Tasting tip

Like fine wine, chocolate is best enjoyed at room temperature to fully experience its aroma and flavor. We recommend tasting chocolate between 20°C and 25°C, with dark chocolate on the warmer end and white chocolate slightly cooler.
