A special bundle of bars to celebrate the Embrace of Winter.
Something for everyone.
Camino Verde 70
Perhaps the most accessible, easy to love dark ever. This bar has an all-round chocolatey profile, with lots of other nuanced notes coming in and out, literally flawless. Lots of organic positive feedback in it's first season, thank you!
Stroopwafel Malagos HCP 60 (contains gluten)
Super festive, Bronze medallist! Enjoy the inclusion of chewy caramelly Dutch Stroopwafel ('stroap-waaafel') :)
Dutch Christmas Pudding - Chuao 59 (contains gluten, rum, almond, cashew)
Indulge in the comforting Chuao profile, the world's first AO cacao - Apellation of Origin - a status usually reserved for important wines, olives etc...
We made this flavoured dark milk 2 years just for fun, a tiny batch to confirm our suspicions. We let curiosity get the better of us, loved the experiment and added a bigger batch to the production queue just in time for the Advent Calendar, our 24th, special bar. Everyone seemed pleased that we did! Now it's a fully festive flavour profile and a recipe we look forwards to making once a year. Drop dead decadent.
Plus a free 155g pouch of Gold Dusted Dragee! Organic whole giant Macadamia are dusted with strawberry sugar and enrobed in Chuao 70 for a decadent bite - citrus emerges... Orange! strawberry+macadamia+Chuao70 = natural notes of orange! Share socially or demolish in private, the pouch is resealable too.
But wait, there's more!
A Cherryleaf Matcha Boulder, on a bed of Gran Palo Blanco 65% dark milk adorned with a salt-pickled Ume blossom, which is edible - and amazing - stalks and petals! Imported by us direct from the pickler in Japan. Boulders are massive and messy enrobed giant marshmallows. Huge, but you don't mind.
and then...
Your choice of:
Star Anisey Night 40
Cardamom and Star Anise stoneground super smooth on a bed of speciality Pumpkin Seed and Kasha (gluten-free buckwheat). A unique combination, but it's World Silver medal at the industry pinnacle ICA competition confirms - it's delicious. A gourmand's delight for any festive feast or sublime supper. The pumpkin seeds will boost your immune system too, as if you need any more convincing ;)
or
Dark Milk
64% Costa Esmeraldas from Ecuador. One of the biggest and most consistent winners ever made in Europe. The farm had a very tough year, with only 30% of their usual harvest, we paid more than double for their cacao. Others balked. If you can't count on Solkiki during crisis, you can't count on anyone! The cacao that did fruit this year is just the finest ever. This Estate has a global reputation for consistent flavour profile, but the tough conditions this year have produced the best vintage in the Estate's history. It's clearly Esmeraldas from the Salazar Estate, but just the best version ever.
