The original idea was to infuse cacao with oak. After an inspired talk with friends at Stratus Vineyards in Niagara-on-the-Lake, winemaker J-L Groux sent over an oak barrel partially filled with the residual yeast and grape skins from the winemaking process known as “lees”. They roasted up a batch of cacao beans and added the roasted nibs to the barrel, rolling it around to make sure things were well mixed.

3 months later, an aromatic wine infused cacao emerged. After grinding the nibs, refining and conching - the Stratus bar was born, an experimental and elegant chocolate bar with the subtle flavor of a Stratus wine.

Tasting notes of grapes, wild honey, blackcurrant, walnut, honeysuckle and blue cheese.

Maker

Soma

Soma was founded by David Castellan and Cynthia Leung in 2003. A rarity in the industry, Soma are adept at both chocolate making, and also a fantastic chocolatier. At the time, ‘bean to bar’ chocolate wasn’t necessarily even a term! Anybody who knew how to make chocolate were those who worked for big chocolate companies. Soma was one of the first to tackle the micro batch chocolate bar production. Besides their wonderful line of chocolate bars, Soma also uses their chocolate to make ganache for truffles, and other chocolate treats. Soma's high quality chocolate bars have been awarded multiple times over the years. First starting off in a 400 square foot tiny corner of an old whiskey distillery, Soma now has two chocolate factories in Toronto, Canada.

Cacao region

Guayas

Guayas is a coastal Ecuadorian province where Nacional cacao, a criollo strain, thrives in the region's tropical climate and ferments with particular care to reveal its signature floral and fruity notes. The terroir from the Guayas river basin produces cacao with subtle herbal complexity that defines Ecuador's reputation for fine flavor beans. Careful post-harvest processing is essential to bring out Nacional's delicate fruit and floral character.

Cacao estate

Hacienda Victoria

Hacienda 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.
