Carefully Selected Ingredients
Like coffee the country of origin can also play a significant difference in the flavor of the bean and each growing region will produce its own unique flavors. Grace Chocolates uses only carefully selected single
origin beans.
This produces a chocolate bar that is a nicely nuanced, rich
chocolate experience.
A Variety of Direct & Fair Trade Beans
Generally there are three different varieties of Cocoa plants,
Criollo, Forastero, and Trinitario.
The Criollo bean is the least common of the cocoa beans. When processed correctly, it is
a superb, rich cocoa bean with
very nice nuances, mild fruity undertones and minimal bitterness. The Trinitario bean is a hybrid cross between the Criollo and the Forastero plants.
When processed properly it has
a rich chocolate flavor and good fruity undertones and is only
mildly bitter.
A Handcrafted Product
Grace Chocolates produces chocolate from a raw cocoa bean.
This process is called bean-to-bar chocolate making.
We begin with a careful selection of cocoa beans by type and origin. The finished product is unique to Grace Chocolates and delivers a delicious and adventurous tasting experience from chocolates made with cocoa beans sourced Direct & Fair Trade from around the world.
