TASTING NOTES

The cacao is roasted in two different ways, the H&V signature Split Roast technique: one roast profile highlights the fruity and spicy notes, the other profile accentuates floral notes of this versatile cacao. Dutch beet sugar brings out the fruitiness of the cacao without adding any additional flavours.

ABOUT THE INGREDIENTS

Heinde & Verre means “near and far”. The locally sourced Dutch beet sugar allows the Colombian cacao to be fully appreciated.

FINCA EL JARNDÍN FARMERS

Located in Colombia, the El Jardin Plantation in Finca El Jardin on the Ariari river plains covers 20 hectares. The protection afforded by this exceptional and luxuriant environment allows the cocoa trees to flourish.

The El Jardín Plantation’s name alludes to the Meta region, which abounds with magnificent natural “gardens” and unique flora and fauna.

LOCAL DUTCH SUGAR

The locally grown sugar beet is an ideal sweetner for chocolate. Its neutral character allows cacao flavours to shine without adding flavours to the chocolate (other sweetners such as sugar cane adds for example a molasses flavour to chocolate) Because of the relative small scale of the sugar beet processing industry, organic and non-organic sugar beets are combined in the extraction proces. Research shows that the CO2 footprint of Dutch beet sugar is 4 times lower compared to the average sugar cane production. This is due to a higher yield, efficient farming, harvesting and processing and the fact that it does not need to be transported over long distances. Moreover, an additional benefit is that beet sugar has a lower water consumption than cane sugar.

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.
