Puchero 48% Dominican Republic Croissant El Zorzel
Puchero 48% Dominican Republic Croissant El Zorzel
This cacao from the Dominican Republic is grown by 25 smallholder-farming families in the province of Duarte. The farmers receive training in organic and bird-friendly farming techniques. In El Zorzal farm cacao grows across 200km of natural forest. When the cocoa is collected, it is fermented for 6 days, then is dried directly in the sun for a week.
The final product is a cocoa with a chocolaty profile with nutty and dried flower notes such as chamomile, rose, and citronella.
For the other half of this chocolate bar is the Acid Bakehouse croissants. A butter croissant with a flaky texture that combines perfectly with this classic profile cacao.
