Wallace EJ Flomo Libéria 81%

Origine du cacao : Libéria
Pays producteur : Canada
Poids : 60g

Mark Wallace a passé des années au Libéria à travailler avec les agriculteurs locaux pour revitaliser l'industrie du cacao du pays, après qu'elle ait été complètement dévastée par les guerres civiles de la fin des années 90 et du début des années 2000 ; des impacts de balles sont encore visibles sur les murs de nombreux magasins et maisons. La ferme de cacao EJ Flomo est nichée dans la forêt tropicale, nichée dans les collines luxuriantes du district de Zorzor, au milieu de la ceinture cacaoyère du Libéria. Ces fèves, provenant directement des relations personnelles de Mark là-bas, ont une saveur implacable et des tanins ultra fins. La barre reste ferme tout en fondant sur la langue, libérant lentement des notes de biscuit Oreo, de croûte de brownie, de noix de pécan et de thé noir. Sombre, unique et carrément délicieux.

Mark Wallace spent years working overseas with cocoa farmers in the West African jungle – a rare experience that sets him apart in the world of chocolate making. Upon returning to Victoria, Canada, he transitioned his deep knowledge of cacao into crafting fine specialty chocolate, all while maintaining his passion for supporting farmers and their communities. All of Mark's cocoa is directly sourced and transparently traded, with most also being organic, heirloom, and chemical input-free. He conducts thorough background research and due diligence on the labour and environmental practices of each supplier. Additionally, his packaging is compostable and recyclable. Another thing I love about Mark's approach is his dedication to showcasing the best of select cocoa-growing areas, highlighting quality over quantity by focusing on one special, intentional bar that's expressive of each region. He takes pride in expressing the flavours of the cocoa origins and shares detailed, often personal, accounts of the farms and growers.

Located in the heart of Liberia's cocoa belt, Lofa County lies a considerable distance from the capital, Monrovia. Its northwestern border meets Sierra Leone, while its northeastern edge touches Guinea. The county boasts Mount Wuteve, Liberia's highest peak, situated in its north-central region. The western part of Lofa is characterized by coastal plains that receive abundant rainfall and sunshine, maintaining high humidity levels of 85 to 95 percent. Swampy areas are common along rivers and creeks, interspersed with patches of savannah woodland. Zorzor, one of the largest towns in Lofa, serves as a local hub for agricultural trade, particularly in rice, cassava, sugarcane, palm oil, and palm kernels. The town is home to the Kpelle and Loma ethnic groups and features an American Lutheran church hospital, a leper colony, and a handicrafts workshop. The county still bears the scars of the civil wars of the late 1990s and early 2000s, with bullet holes serving as somber reminders on many buildings.
