Maker
HogarthHogarth Chocolate is a small craft chocolate maker in Nelson, New Zealand. The founders Karl and Marina started making chocolate after Karl was inspired by craft chocolate after a trip to South America when he tasted pure cacao for the first time. Karl was inspired by the true flavors of chocolate is capable of. Their chocolate hobby evolved into a business so Karl could spend more time at home with his family, a completely different direction from his 20 years of former seafaring life. 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.
Cacao Estate
Hacienda VictoriaHacienda Victoria has been producing a sustainable and socially-responsible cacao harvest since 2012. The process starts in the nurseries, continues in the ground, and ends with the drying of the beans after careful fermentation. The 460-hectare farm was originally acquired in 2009, by farmer Carlos Eduardo García Fuentes, and blessed with the name of his wife, Victoria. These days, the couple’s thousands of arriba nacional cacao trees are intercropped with banana and plantain as shade trees, a natural & traditional approach to farming in this part of the world.
Cacao Strain
NacionalNacional is one of those ten evolutionarily unique types identified in 2008, using samples collected throughout the Americas over the previous century. Samples proven to be of the nacional cluster were taken from Ecuador and northern Peru, where it’s considered one of the traditional cacao cultivars; it was domesticated by indigenous Ecuadorians over 5000 years ago, reaching far beyond its small native growing region. Many years ago, however, the cultivar neared extinction as more productive clones replaced the region’s native trees. Nacional is known to be fruity & floral, with some astringency and almost no bitterness.
