Willie's Cacao - Rio Caribe 72% Dark Chocolate Chef's Drops 1kg - Couverture chocolate with coffee, nutty notes - For cooking & baking - Vegan

Cooking with this remarkable Single Estate Venezuelan Rio Caribe couverture dark chocolate is a revelation. Cakes and desserts are transformed by the wonderful depth and complex flavour notes of the cacao. To create a completely clean palette for chefs to work on, we don’t use soya lecithin or vanilla. All our chocolates perfectly reflect the distinct flavour notes of their beans, so you can choose the one perfect for your recipe. Rio Caribe's robust flavour and notes of nuts and coffee make it the classic chocolate for cakes and brownies. I find it pairs perfectly with brown spirits like brandy and rum. ... Willie Harcourt-Cooze, cacao farmer, chocolate pioneer and artisan chocolate maker, makes some of the best chocolates in the world in his bean to bar Chocolate Factory in Devon. His award winning Willie’s Cacao chocolates are all made from fine single estate cacaos, and 100% natural ingredients. To preserve these beautiful flavours he takes up to 3 weeks to make the chocolate compared to industrial chocolate that is made in a few hours. Everything is done from scratch, even roasting and pasting the nuts for his delectable Praline Truffles. The range includes bars, truffles, couverture chocolates that are used by top chefs like Ottolenghi, and Hot Chocolate that has won awards around the world. Being a cacao farmer himself, he buys all his cacao Direct Trade, paying a higher price premium than Fair Trade. All his cacaos are grown by small farming groups, using traditional methods under shade trees which is sustainable and supports bio-diversity. No chemicals are used. Pure Flavours. Pure Pleasure.
