DUTCH ORIGINAL WHITE 37%

Natural white with a touch of lemon

 

With this bar we celebrate the Dutch invention of the cacao butter press by Coenraad Johannes van Houten back in 1828. Initially this press was created to make powder for drinking chocolate. A century later used for pressing cacao for its butter to make white chocolate.

The Dutch Original White bar is made of natural cacao butter from Venezuela, the same country as Van Houten chose to import in the past. The creamy and hearty Dutch cow milk accentuates the natural cacao butter and provides for an extra layer of flavour depth. As a finishing touch we added the fresh taste of Spanish lemon and real quality vanilla from Madagascar.

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.
