STORY: Heavy rains during ripening and harvest time seemed to push this cacao in a fruitier direction. With this edition, we let loose the full force of those intrinsic flavors by opting to refrain from conching. Bold blackberry marmalade bursts forth, intermingling with notes of coffee, oak, and a touch of flowers.
PAIRING RECOMMENDATIONS: Sweet single malts and spirits. In the realm of cheese, creamy and nutty are always best. Robiola, brie, and triple-cremes are lovely. We also enjoy semi-soft cheeses like gouda, havarti, and fontina.
