New Single Plantation, dark chocolate bar from Michel Cluizel
of France.
La Laguna – the latest single-plantation, dark chocolate bar
from Michel Cluizel & created using fine flavour cocoa grown on the La
Laguna plantation in Guatemala.
Guatemala lies in Central America, sandwiched between Mexico
to the north and Honduras & El Salvador to the south.
It's on the same path as Belize & the Caribbean,
which are also renowned cocoa growing regions.
Guatemala was the birthplace of one of America’s oldest civilisations
– The Mayans. Considered by some to be the homeland of cocoa; today, the cocoa farmers
continue to grow and plant following their ancient principles, using natural
farming methods, which respect the terroir and its traditions.
Why is Single Plantation chocolate so prized?
Single origin chocolate has always been the domain of the
top, bean to bar (cacaofevier) chocolate makers. The pure form of the chocolate
allows chocolatiers to really showcase their talents and skills as they unlock
the many exciting and charismatic flavours of the cocoa from each harvest.
Chocolate makers proudly display the quality
of cocoa they use to create the chocolate, and even highlight the name of the
plantation or estate the cocoa originated from by name.
Single Plantation chocolate is considered by many to be
the ultimate in fine chocolate. As the name suggests, the cocoa is sourced from a singular cocoa plantation rather than a single cocoa growing region (single origin).
La Laguna tasting notes.
La Laguna, dark chocolate bar offers an outstanding flavour
profile, with notes of plum, yellow fruits and roasted cocoa.
