What a delightful choice of chocolate we have here indeed!

All chocolate at Faraway Garden is handmade in teeny tiny batches in Hellevoetsluis, often with around 10 bars of chocolate made in each batch.

This particular chocolate is made from cocoa beans from the Cotopaxi province in heart of Ecuador. The farm, 45 farmers strong, specializes in cultivating the exceptional Arriba Nacional cocoa variety. Its soil is rich with minerals and nutrients due to its location near to Latin Americas most active volcano making it ideal for cocoa cultivation.

The beans are fermented and dried on location then shipped off to suppliers and makers around the world.

Once I receive the beans I roast, winnow (remove husk) and conch (grind) them. I conch the beans for 1-3 days in a stone grinder. Still with me on this? I know, its sounds like a lot! I’m so happy to explain this process on market days so please pop by for a chat you are most welcome!
