Description
This bar is crafted with single origin cocoa butter, pressed fresh in-house from the same high-quality estate beans Baianí uses in their dark chocolate bars—an almost unheard-of practice in the bean-to-bar world. Why is that a big deal? Because most cocoa butter comes from bland, high-yielding beans, or worse, inferior grades that are nothing but filler made by big companies. When you’re talking about fresh cocoa butter, it’s a game-changer. It’s not as stable as roasted cocoa beans and can lose its flavor quickly. But here, it shines—pure, vibrant, and true.
Visually, it’s a stunner. Creamy white, flecked with the colorful spices that hint at the layers of flavor inside. You may not recognize the names of the spices but their flavors will be familiar: you’ll taste a warm, nutmeg-like essence of puxuri (part of the laurel family), the cinnamon-richness of amburana (a type of tree bark), and cumaru (in English known as “tonka beans”) which is prized by perfume makers for its fragrance, typically described as a mix of vanilla, clove, and almond. It’s familiar, and yet just exotic enough to make you pause and appreciate each bite. Forget pumpkin spice lattes—this is on another level.
