SINGLE ORIGIN // COLOMBIA
COLOMBIAN DARK | PEAR | MALDON SALT
Nothing feels more true to my boyhood than the sugar-coated fruit ‘jujubes’ that filled every 90s kids sweet box. I loved their sweetness, their obnoxious brightness, their unapologetic fruitiness.
As I grew older, those sweets slowly gave way to dark chocolate, deeper, more complex, but perhaps a little less playful. With CACAO + PEAR, I wanted to bring those two worlds together: the nostalgic sweetness of childhood against the silky bitterness I’ve come to love as an adult.
Finding the right fruit took time, but the earthy, green nuances of this Colombian cacao naturally led us to fresh orchard pears, juicy, floral, sweet, and gently acidic. It works magically with the 90% dark chocolate, becoming all at once interplay and counterpoint.

SAVOR: This fine coverture chocolate is best enjoyed slowly. Allow the chocolate to warm slightly on the palette before chewing. This releases the chocolate's subtle aromas and complexities.
STORE: The chocolate is best stored either in a wine cellar fridge (16-18°C 60%RH) or in the warmest part of a home fridge (top shelf on the door side). It is best enjoyed 6 months from the date of production found at the back of the box.
Once opened, keep away from strong scents, high humidity, and direct sunlight.
NOTE: Temperature fluctuations may cause melting or an appearance of a whitish fat bloom on the bar. Once cooled chocolate taste and texture are unaffected, and it is safe for consumption.
INGREDIENTS: 90% Single origin Dark Colombian Chocolate, Maldon Sea Salt, Pear Pâte de fruit.
