Fonderie Pinalum Île de Malekula Vanuatu 70%

Origine du cacao : Vanuatu
Pays producteur : Nouvelle-Zélande
Poids : 70g

Ce cacao est cultivé dans le village de Pinalum, situé sur l'île de Mallicolo au Vanuatu. Atteindre n'importe quelle île isolée du vaste océan Pacifique Sud est une aventure, mais celle-ci nécessite également un ferry de nuit depuis la capitale, suivi d'une balade en moto tout-terrain sur des routes de corail, de gravier et de sable, qui deviennent très boueuses pendant la saison des pluies. Mais à votre arrivée, vous serez récompensé par une plage luxuriante, des eaux cristallines et des palmiers. C'est ici qu'Olivier Fernandez de Gaston Cacao et la villageoise locale Lily Buktan supervisent la station de fermentation et de séchage, en collaboration avec les agriculteurs locaux pour s'assurer qu'ils sont payés bien au-dessus des prix traditionnels du modèle industriel.
Prix ​​habituel $14.99

Foundry Chocolate, based in New Zealand, has been recognized with numerous awards, including being crowned Champion at the NZ Outstanding Food Producer Awards and earning multiple gold medals at the Academy of Chocolate Awards in London. Foundry’s dedication to quality and sustainability has also earned them the prestigious Snail of Approval from Slow Food's Auckland chapter. This recognition has led to regular showcases on TV3, TVNZ, and Radio New Zealand. David, Foundry’s founder and chocolate maker, is an engineer by trade. His passion for precision and craftsmanship informs the rigorous standards and attention to detail that defines Foundry. Sourcing only the finest quality cacao beans from ethical and sustainable farms, his bars highlight the unique flavours and terroir of the beans' origins using just two ingredients: cacao and organic cane sugar. The elegant packaging, designed by David’s wife Janelle, perfectly complements the purity and integrity of the chocolate inside. As one journalist put it, “the anticipation of opening each resealable parcel is like unwrapping gifts on Christmas morning.”

Malekula Island is only accessible by an 8-hour boat journey from Vanuatu’s capital, Port Vila, or a flight to a grass strip. Be warned, however: the flight schedule is limited, with the pilot flying over once a day and not bothering to land unless they notice you waiting. The village’s main dirt track is suited for a tractor and connects its main points of interests: a store, a church, and a water well. Idyllic but also rare, Malekula's cocoa production is so minimal that you’re unlikely to find on many lists of cocoa-producing regions. The island saw cocoa cultivation begin in the 1920s but its viability only emerged in recent times due to changes in local management and funding.
