Definite Florencio Ortega Dark Milk 50%

Cocoa Origin: Dominican Republic
Producer Country: Dominican Republic
Weight: 60 g

This dark milk chocolate bar features cacao from a single estate owned by Florencio Ortega, whose family has been cultivating cacao for over 80 years. The farm operates organically, aligning with Don Florencio's deep connection to and appreciation of the environment. Located in the Espaillat province at the foothills of the Septentrional mountain range, the estate benefits from an ideal environment for cacao cultivation. It's also the bar I'd share with someone who's never had milk chocolate before. It embodies everything we love about milk chocolate but offers so much more: delicately sweet, subtly tart, with blissful flavours of hazelnut spread and hints of chai spices that enhance the cocoa's fruitiness. You can't put it down. 5 stars.

Jens was an industrial engineer in Germany dabbling with making his own ‘bons bons’ as a hobby when he first stumbled on single-origin craft chocolates. He was immediately captivated and determined to delve deeper into this world. So, only a few years later, he set off for the Dominican Republic, where he immersed himself with local cocoa producers to learn everything he could about growing, harvesting, fermenting, and drying cacao beans. Today, he’s producing small batches of micro-terroir chocolate, using only the finest-flavoured, organic cacao sourced from throughout the Dominican Republic. Each bar offers a taste of a different region, allowing you to traverse the country one bar at a time. He works closely in collaboration with small farmers and local businesses to not only ensure superior quality but also support local industry.

Espaillat is one of the 32 provinces in the Dominican Republic, located in the north-central Cibao region and bordering the Atlantic Ocean to the north. Named after a notable author and former president, Espaillat is among the smallest provinces by land area but has one of the highest population densities. The province is divided into three geographic zones: the Atlantic coastal plains, the modest Cordillera Septentrional mountains, and the Cibao Valley, known for its significant mineral deposits, including the largest gold mine in the Americas and the second largest globally. With a tropical climate that remains hot year-round, Espaillat's economy is predominantly agricultural, focusing on crops such as plantains, cassava, coffee, and cacao.
