DESCRIPTION:

The eco-region Lachua, around lake Lachua is home to Q’eqchi’ Maya families, many of whom live off grid and rely on production of cacao, honey, cardamom, corn and other crops for their livelihoods, all harvested from 200 hectares around the lake.

We only bought three sacks from Uncommon Cacao back in 2016 and had them frozen immediately to preserve their flavor. Three years later we are finally able to pull them out and make some amazing chocolate. It is estimated we will get around 3000 bars out of these beans which means this will be a Limited Edition.The chocolate is smooth & creamy with notes of licorice and blackberry.

Karl tinkers with and makes machines to make the chocolate making process more efficient and precise. The team at Hogarth is always on a mission to find new inspiration from the world to be transformed into their next chocolate bar.

Collection title: Alta Verapaz, Guatemala

Collection description: Alta Verapaz is a department in central Guatemala, with its capital in Cobán. All of Guatemala was at one point a part of the Maya civilization, including the Alta Verapaz region, and most of the area's residents are still part of one of the surviving groups and primarily speak their native language rather than Spanish. The majority of the fine flavor cacao exported from Guatemala comes from the tropical jungles of the Alta Verapaz region via Cacao Verapaz, a specialty cacao exporter based in Cobán, and focused on working with indigenous communities to preserve their native cacao varietals.

Surprising sweetness

The bar is great quality - perfect snap, great texture, smooth melt. There is a surprising sweetness to the entirety of the taste, but not in a sugary sweet way. I would definitely recommend this for people who think they don't like darker chocolate, but want to experience darker chocolate that isn't bitter or acidic or earthy. There is a little bit of fruityness to the taste, but the sweetness makes it hard to compare with other fruity more acidic chocolates.
