   Plantations - Ecuador size retail


These chocolate bars are made from 100% Arriba cacao beans, an heirloom variety found in the rainforest of Ecuador.

Arriba cacao has a naturally occurring higher percentage of cacao butter, so no additional cacao butter is added.  This makes these bars a little denser and more chocolaty than most.

COUVERTURE
 

     

 

Couverture is the formulation of chocolate used by candy makers and professional pastry chefs.
Use couverture for all your baking needs, for exquisite hot chocolate, and for eating out-of-hand...
 
Our couverture is now available in what is known as minigrammes.  These morsels are very-easy-to-measure and use.  They melt reliably and eliminate the messy shards and imprecise pieces that 'break-up' block chocolate produces.  We think that you will love this.
 
All of our couverture is packed into plastic containers from bulk.
