Costa Rica Osa Peninsula - Chocolate 70% tablet
There are coffee lands that are also cocoa lands. So many terroirs, so many flavors. So many men and women who place the preservation of living organisms at the heart of their production.
This chocolate is the fruit of our encounter with these producers and the know-how of Encuentro, the world-renowned pioneer of bean-to-bar chocolate in France.
Caractéristiques Techniques

Description
We open this new ball of enchanting aromas with cocoa beans produced in one of the best preserved (and most beautiful) places on the planet: Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica. It was our friend Alejo Castro of Volcan Azul Estate, who put us on the trail of small-scale producers native to Osa, who have been growing cocoa in agroforestry for generations. They are located along what is becoming a corridor for the movement and protection of wild animals which, as a result of global warming, are moving up towards Panama to find fresh air and their means of subsistence. This Corridor project is the work of the Castro family, who are particularly committed to protecting the flora and fauna of this peninsula.
Tasting note
A chocolate with a gourmet profile, with notes of elderflower, chocolate cake and raisin.
A rich, creamy chocolate with a long finish.
ENCUENTRO
After having sourced the best cocoa beans and tested many and many recipes, Antoine and Candice launched Encuentro in 2017. It is in Lille that the two partners set up their factory and created their artisanal bars "Bean to Bar", chocolate essentially made from cocoa and organic cane sugar. For a pure and authentic result!
