This rich milk chocolate base contains little bursts of candied orange peel throughout. The peel comes from Chocolarder's close collaborators at Natoora, who squeeze an incredible amount of oranges to supply fresh juice to most of London's best restaurants. Chocolarder then process the peel into small pieces, before deftly pairing them with the browned butter milk chocolate.
This chocolate is made using cocoa beans from Oko Caribe in the Dominican Republic. For more than 50 years Adriano de Jesus Rodriguez and Gualberto Acebey Torrejon have generously shared their expertise to build a community of dedicated cacao farmers in the Duarte province, Dominican Republic. The care taken to nurture the quality of their cacao shines through in the stunning mellow tones that work beautifully whether standing alone or when combined with other ingredients. A lovely bean from lovely people.
