Pure Chocolate 73% Costa Rica Talamanca (Selentina) 50g

Im so excited to present to you this incredibly rare chocolate.
La Tortuga in Talamanca , Costa Rica harvests five varieties of cacao in one single farm.
The idea of La Tortuga is one origin, one terroir, but expressing the different personalities of each variety.
Each individual variety undergoes its own fermentation and drying process, creating flavor profiles unique to each variety.

What I love most is their commitment to doing things the right way. They focus on quality ingredients and ethical sourcing, supporting the people and places where cacao is grown. It feels good to enjoy something that not only tastes amazing but also contributes positively to communities and the environment.

I’m lucky enough to be able to try three of La Tortuga’s varieties; Amatista, Porcelana de Talamanca and Selenita.
I wanted to preserve the soft, earthy notes of this cacao so I roasted the cocoa beans low and slow, and then ground them slowly in a stone grinder for 48 hours.

I find the taste of this Selenita cacao incredibly unique; creamy, nutty and mild. I’m so curious as to how you find the taste!

As with most of our bars, it is a limited edition.

If you’d like to know more I’m always happy for chocolate chats so do pop by on a market day!

We are at Rotterdamse Oogst Markt every last Saturday of the month and at other farmers markets (dates vary, keep an eye out on the website or via social media for more dates!) throughout the year

Have a lovely day!
