THREE FARMER COOPERATIVES

The organic cacao in this blend is grown in agro forestry systems amongst other crops. Three single origins from The Dominican Republic, Ecuador and Indonesia bring excitement to the Dutch Original Blend.

Öko Caribe comes from 165 farmers nestled in the heart of the Duarte province in the Dominican Republic. This award winning cacao is famous for its consistent quality. The farmers receives continuously agricultural training. Öko Caribe provides micro-finance loans for its members when needed.

The Ecuadorian cacao is grown by Jose Cesar Carriel on his 15 hectares in the Los Ríos region. The variety is the national pride: the Arriba Nacional cacao bean.

The indonesian cacao is grown by the Ebier Suth Cokran farmers in the surrounding of the Ransiki village in West Papua. Close to the Arfak mountains this cacao offer a wild exciting range of flavours.

LOCAL DUTCH COW MILK

The Netherlands is famous for its cheese and butter because of a long dairy tradition. The Dutch sea climate and terroir gives Dutch milk its specific rich flavour and is a perfect match for chocolate. We use full-cream Dutch milk to provide for a rich experience and lovely melt.

TRADITIONAL DUTCH BASTERD SUGAR

For this bar we used a typical Dutch sugar called “basterdsuiker” which is officially recognised as local specialty by the European Union. Basterdsuiker is a mix of fine granulated crystal sugar, invert sugar and caramelised sugar syrup, all made from locally grown sugar beet in the Netherlands. This type of sugar has been made in The Netherlands since the beginning of the 17th century and is often used in iconic Dutch pastries.

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.
