Ecuador 70% Dark Chocolate Bar - Hacienda Limon The Ecuador 70% chocolate bar is a bar of good complexity. Floral notes, vanilla, coffee, cocoa are perceived. This chocolate is characterized by an excellent complexity of aromas and a good variety of flavors. The roasting takes place at a medium-low temperature, in order to best preserve all the scents and aromatic notes characteristic of this cocoa. The processing must also take place at a low temperature to preserve the typical notes. The cocoa used in this bar comes from Hacienda Limon, a farm in Ecuador where “Arriba National” cacao is grown, a rare and valuable variety of Ecuadorian cacao, now threatened by the spread of more productive varieties. Profound interventions are underway to protect these unique plantations and this variety of fine cacao, both in the field and in post-harvest centers.
