La vanille est issue d'une fleur d'orchidée originaire du Mexique. Pendant des centaines d'années, les tentatives de culture de la vanille en dehors de sa région d'origine ont échoué car la méthode spécifique de pollinisation par une espèce d'abeille particulière était inconnue. Ce n'est qu'au 19e siècle, avec la découverte des techniques de pollinisation manuelle, que la culture de la vanille s'est répandue dans le monde entier. Cette barre entièrement biologique combine du lait entier provenant d'une ferme familiale locale, du cacao brésilien d'une seule propriété et des gousses de vanille de Madagascar - de vraies gousses de vraie vanille, pas un sirop ou un arôme artificiel. C'est important car les chocolats commerciaux utilisent souvent de la fausse vanille pour masquer des arômes de cacao inférieurs (ou un manque d'arôme du tout). Dans cette barre, la vanille et le cacao se complètent parfaitement. Les notes de fudge et de caramel noir du chocolat sont rehaussées par la douceur presque guimauve du lait et les qualités florales de la vanille. C'est dé-li-cieux. C'est aussi simple que ça.

Dick Taylor Chocolat au lait vanille 55%
Rooted in a background of woodworking and boat building, Adam Dick and Dustin Taylor – hence the name - have always cherished working with their hands and had a passion for craftsmanship. When they learned of the American craft chocolate movement, they recognized the common threads between working with wood and crafting chocolate from bean to bar. Fascinated by this new challenge, they purchased some small-scale equipment in 2010 and shifted their attention to detail and appreciation for quality materials to raw cacao. Today, Dick Taylor continues to work out of their small factory in Eureka, California, using only organic ingredients and ethically-sourced and direct-trade cocoa. Their beautifully designed packaging, inspired by their woodworking roots, reflects this commitment to sustainability and excellence. Adam and Dustin's journey from woodworking to chocolate making is a testament to their love for crafting and their pursuit of quality. Oh, and the two play in a cool indie, bluegrass-y band called Huckleberry Flint.
Achetez plus Dick TaylorBahia, a large state in central Brazil that hugs the Atlantic Ocean, features up to nine distinct climate types and diverse geography, with average rainfall ranging from 363 to 2,000 mm per year, depending on the region. Its topography includes mountains descending into plains, extensive coastlines with beaches and coconut groves, and areas of swamps and lagoons. The aptly named “Cocoa Coast” in the south is where most cocoa farming is done. This part is characterized by ecological sanctuaries, dense forests, and wetland vegetation. Unfortunately, large monocrop plantations left the region vulnerable to a disease called “Witches Broom” which all but wiped out cocoa farming in the 1980s. However, family farms have since revitalized the industry, focusing on premium cocoa and artisan chocolate production.
