Flavour Details
Product details
A powerfully dynamic chocolate, starting with an intense cocoa flavour, with roasted, earthy, tobacco notes and a good clean bitterness. Moving to suggestions of black pepper, delicate orange, raisin and dried fruit flavours, it evolves beautifully into a herbal veggie finish, with a quiet farewell of honeylike sweetness. Once tasted, never forgotten.

Fermentation & Drying Process
D.R. Congo

Box fermentation in micro-center
– Ideal for small farmers
– Enhances specific flavors

Pre-drying
– Longer duration > extension of fermentation in lower T (no further acetate production)
– Further color development
– Increased fissuring > Balanced profiles and increased cur test
– Reduced risk for early case hardening under local circumstances



Drying
– Clean appearance
– Easier separation of husk
– Reduced acidity
– Slower speed for moisture reduction -> no risk for case hardening



Sourcing expertise and optimization of post-harvest processes
Veliche™ has identified the best beans in El Salvador and D.R. Congo and optimized the fermentation and drying processes to deliver exquisite and consistent taste profiles.
