Pure Chocolate 63% Tanzania with Yum Phrik Crispy Chili Oil

Description

Pure Chocolate 63% Tanzania
Made with Yum Phrik Crispy Chili Oil…

Dare I say this has become the new favourite bar????

I tried chili crisp oil for the first time at our farmers market @rotterdamseoogst last year. Nicole, from @trouble.and.spice had some samples of Yum Phrik to taste and I liked it so much I immediately bought 3 pots. I put it on almost everything, its amazing stuff. So it was a question of time before we got together to create an equally amazing chocolate bar with it!
It took me a while to get the chocolate right. I was looking for a cocoa bean that had hints of citrus but was also cocoa forward. The cocoa beans  I tried with hints of red wine and tobacco (Ecuador, Columbia) just didn’t do the lemongrass and chili justice in the Yum Phrik. After five different cocoa trials I finally found the beans I had in mind: Kokoa Kamili. This is a cooperation in Mbingu (Swahili for ‘Heaven’), in Tanzania who work closely with local farmers who produce organic cocoa beans of exceptional quality.
After a few more trials and errors here you have it! A beautiful 63% pure chocolate bar crammed with Nicole’s chili crisp, the YUM BAR!

*You will often find Nicole at Rotterdamse Oogst with her collection of incredible homemade chili concoctions! Check out her page @trouble.and.spice to see where you can find her next!

All chocolate at Faraway Garden is handmade in teeny tiny batches in Hellevoetsluis, South Holland. Once I receive the cocoa beans I roast, winnow and conch them.
