This origin is malty. Feels deep, cosy, toasty. We taste malt, muscovado & a whiff of whisky.
Like fine wine or good coffee, the location of the farm where crops are grown, hugely gifts the flavour as the plants take on characteristics of the earth, sky + weather of the terroir.
This natural, organic chocolate is made using only 2 ingredients... the fair trade, organic cocoa beans lightly roasted to perfection at Darkroom's Norfolk roastery + organic unrefined sugar to taste... the roasting of the raw beans is crucial in developing the exquisite flavour profile... just like good coffee.
No industrial batch roasting here .. so no need to add nasties such as lecithin, soya, cocoa butter or vanilla - just not required as it already tastes so good! The talent here is obvious in the tasting - get some into your basket today, you won't regret it.
Darkroom 70% Sierra Leone Village Hope 25g or 50g Chocolate Bar
Darkroom chocolate is all about flaunting amazing cacao beans, & showcasing them in their most minimal, purist way; with just two ingredients - cocoa + sugar.
Natalie and Mike make this incredible chocolate in North Norfolk and only source from small independent farms and co-operatives.
“We source cacao beans and sugar from organic certified farms following practices which are kinder to wildlife, soil health and farmer health. We only source from farmer cooperatives and responsible estates where farmers are typically paid 10% over the organic fairtrade price for their crop. In addition, these cooperatives and estates provide grower benefits in the form of seedbanks, farming training (for example, how to increase yields without use of fertilisers and pesticides) and health services (like visiting dentists and schools) for farmers and their families.”
