Fresco #270 70%

O’Payo is an organic fine cacao variety from the Waslala municipality, within the Bosawas Natural Reserve in the northern mountains of Nicaragua. Profundo describes a long fermentation and slow drying process, producing cacao flavors of ripe fruit and nuts with floral and spicy notes.

The light roasted cacao in our Recipe 270 bar highlights fruity notes from the cacao’s natural acidity. The subtle conche cycle softens this cacao’s bright acidity resulting in a chocolate reminiscent of the original cacao fruit. A small amount of added cocoa butter enhances the chocolate’s silky texture as it melts on your palate.  Nicaragua 50g.
