Black Jaguar Japanese Sweet Potato Orange 77%

Origine du cacao : Colombia
Pays producteur : Canada
Poids : 75 g

Made with single-estate cacao from Hacienda Morumbí in Colombia's Meta Department, this bar pairs Japanese sweet potato, orange, and cardamom with Black Jaguar's characteristically rich and complex style of chocolate. Japanese sweet potatoes (satsumaimo) are distinguished by their purple skin and pale flesh. Some people describe their flavour as nutty, even drawing comparisons to chestnuts. I tend to prefer them to the orange-fleshed varieties common in North America, as they have less of the characteristic yam-like flavour while retaining plenty of their own character. Interesting ingredients notwithstanding, the dominant impression in this bar comes from the cacao itself, which offers aromas of coffee cream and a flavour profile reminiscent of praline truffle. Rather than functioning as a novelty bar built around bold inclusions, the recipe succeeds through integration, creating a complementary and cohesive whole that is greater than its individual parts. Those seeking pronounced citrus, spice, or sweet potato notes may find them somewhat elusive, but anyone who appreciates well-made chocolate will find plenty to admire in the quality and balance typical of all Black Jaguar's bars.

Black Jaguar Japanese Sweet Potato Orange 77%

Scott and Emilie are adventurers whose love for cacao took root during their travels across the cacao heartlands of Latin America. From planting cacao seedlings in the Amazon Basin of Bolivia to forging personal relationships in Nicaragua’s lush landscapes, their journey reflects a genuine connection rare amongst chocolate makers. Their work started in 2017 while filming an agroforestry documentary—a project that literally planted seeds in the area where cacao was first domesticated thousands of years ago. After years of exploration, they settled in Guatemala to work with cacao, laying the foundation for what would become Black Jaguar. Today, they craft exceptional chocolate on Vancouver Island, using beans exclusively sourced from heirloom cacao grown in La Dalia, Nicaragua, and certified by the Heirloom Cacao Preservation Fund, as well as cacao from the Bosawás Biosphere Reserve, the second largest rainforest in the Western Hemisphere and home to 13% of the world’s known plant and animal species. They also enjoy foraging on the Island, creating unique bars that weave together the flavors of cacao’s origins with the essence of their Vancouver Island home.
