“what is bean to bar?” we hear you ask
our process…
we select only the best ethically and sustainably sourced fine cacao
we roast the beans at different roasting profiles bespoke to every origin, depending on what characteristics we want to highlight, to bring out the best possible flavour
we crack the beans and then put through a machine called a winnower to separate the cacao husk from the cacao nib
the nibs will then be crushed in a stone grinder, which will release the natural fats and solids in the nibs
this then becomes pure molten chocolate known as ‘cacao liquor’
we add organic, unrefined sugar to make delicious, unique chocolate that actually tastes of chocolate!
finally the chocolate is tempered so that it has a characteristic snap and melts in your mouth, releasing all the complex and indulgent flavour notes that real chocolate has to offer.
