Organic 80% Haiti Georgia Ramon 50g

Product detailed description

A dark chocolate bar with 80% cocoa solids, made by the Georgia Ramon workshop from cocoa beans grown in Haiti. Trinitario and Criollo varieties, a medium roast, a 24-hour grind and no conching at all. The result is dense and fruity, with ripe fig, sour cherry and roasted nut on the nose.

The beans come from the island of Hispaniola and from the Dufort family. For more than a century they grew and roasted coffee in Haiti, then carried the same approach across to cocoa. Their base sits in the middle of the plantation belt, they now buy from over 1,500 local farmers and they walk those plantations themselves.

The label runs to three items: cocoa mass, cane sugar and cocoa butter, nothing else. It works best alongside black coffee, after training instead of a bar, or in the evening when a sweet craving should end at two squares. The whole 50g bar carries only 10g of raw cane sugar, roughly the natural sugar in half an apple.

Key benefits

• 80% cocoa solids – plenty of cocoa, very little sugar
• Trinitario and Criollo – fine varieties from a single origin, not an anonymous blend
• No conching – a 24-hour grind and a medium roast keep the bean aroma in the bar
• Flavour profile – ripe figs, sour cherries and roasted nuts with floral notes
• Certified organic – every ingredient from organic farming, control code DE-ÖKO-003
• Gluten free and vegan – no dairy in the recipe

How to enjoy it

Let the bar sit at room temperature for a few minutes, then snap it square by square. Two or three squares go a long way, so a 50g bar lasts several days.
