AGED PORCELANA DARK 71%

Elevated by ageing

 
We went the extra mile – times two – with this bar. Two years ago we took the renowned Porcelana cacao from Venezuela and made chocolate out of it. Then we matured the untempered chocolate mass in stainless steel containers for another two years until now. Result: the already delicate complex flavour lingers even more and brings depth to the flavour.

This bar is made of rare and delicate beans from the Zulia Andes region, south of lake Maracaibo in Venezuela. This cacao received its name after the porcelain white colour of the beans.

TASTING NOTES

Elegant, smooth and delicate chocolate with refined flavours of white fruit, nuts and honey. The complex and lingering aftertaste stays with you for the rest of the day.

ONE BAR FOR NOW, ONE BAR FOR LATER

Each Heinde & Verre box contains 2 bars, one bar for now, one for later. At Heinde & Verre we take chocolate and your enjoyment very serious. Quality chocolate needs to be protected so we have developed the perfect packaging to preserve all the natural flavours. A kraft pouch protects against light, humidity, dust and dirt. A double air tight seal protects against odours. We have extracted part of the air to reduce oxidisation and moisture.
