KERTA SEMAYA SAMANIYA FARMERS
The KSS farmer cooperative is located in the Jembrana region of the island of Bali.Bali’s volcanic nature has contributed to its exceptional fertility and its tall mountain ranges provide the high rainfall that supports the highly productive agriculture sector.
In 2011 the farmers managed to grow the first organic certified cacao in South-East Asia. To make it more sustainable cacao is grown in an agroforestry system where the farmer combines multiple crops such as fruit, coffee and vegetables.
The main crop is harvested from July til September and the secondary crop from December til January. After the harvest the beans are fermented in two-tiered wooden boxes for 6 days and are dried on tables in the sun when possible. The carefully selected beans are bagged and shipped to The Netherlands.
ABOUT THE INGREDIENTS
When going vegan, a remark which is often heard is: “the only thing I really miss is a good milk bar that actually reminds me of a milk bar”. Not being vegans ourselves but connoisseurs of milk we obviously accepted this challenge with both heart and mind. Many days of deep dive into questions like “what is the essence of a milk bar?” Followed by many weeks of experimenting and testing several recipes. In short, good times.
We have selected a mix of natural, allergen free ingredients to capture the essence of quality milk in a vegan milk bar alternative. When you taste the Vegan Noble Bali Mylk bar you can discover the “anchor points” of milk chocolate such as natural sweetness, well rounded soft caramel tones, chalky heartiness and a creamy texture with a mellow melt.

A variety of in-house developed techniques is used to craft the unique Heinde & Verre chocolate. The cacao beans of one single farmer are handselected and roasted in multiple ways to bring out as many flavours as possible.
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.
