Heinde & Verre Perle d'Équateur Noir 100%
Heinde & Verre, meaning "near and far," pays homage to the Dutch culinary tradition of sourcing ingredients worldwide and combining them with local customs, perfectly reflecting Milou’s belief in the synergy of global and local economies. The two guys behind the name, Jan-Willem & Ewald, are serious chocolate geeks and have developed several in-house techniques that make their bars standout: slow food level stuff like stone grinding for up to three days, aging their chocolate mass, sorting beans by hand, and split-roasting single origin beans into multiple batches, each receiving a unique roast profile, and then blending back together by taste. They use only traceable ingredients and work with trusted single estates and cooperatives. Their facility is a carbon-free, fully electric factory powered and heated by 100% Dutch green wind energy. And as if that wasn’t enough to love about them, just wait until you see the cleverness of their packaging, which includes kraft paper pouches with double airtight seal to protect against odors, light, humidity, and oxidation. The outside sticker states the name, farmer, and origin region, while unfolding the box reveals the H&D philosophy, a map showing ingredients and their origin, and a QR code linking to the story, tasting notes, farmer's photos, and other details of each bar, as well as nutritional value in four languages. As if that’s not good enough, each box comes with not one but two bars!
Achetez plus Heinde & VerreGuayas is a coastal province in Ecuador and the most populous in the country, with over 4 million residents. Many inhabitants are descendants of the Manteño-Huancavilca, a prominent culture before European contact. During the Spanish occupation, Guayaquil, Guayas' main city, emerged as a vital port in South America, a role it continues to play today. This port city attracts many from the countryside seeking economic opportunities. Guayas boasts diverse natural terrain: the Coastal Range, despite temperatures in the low 20s°C, is a desert, while areas outside this range are humid and fertile, especially in the north, with temperatures consistently in the mid 20s to low 30s°C year-round.
