Since 1905 the Rizek family has been leading the way in the production of the finest organic cocoa beans in the Dominican Republic. One of their most precious plantations, “Hacienda la Esmeralda” is located in the denominación de origen region called “Los Bejucos”. At the very heart of the Dominican Republic, Chefs can truly unlock cocoa sensorial richness by going through the captivating bean-to-bar experience at La Esmeralda: from harvesting the beans alongside farmers to producing a custom-made recipe on the spot, Chefs are able to live an authentic, unique and mesmerizing human and sensorial experience by becoming craftsmen of their own chocolate recipe.
With the desire to keep bringing together farmers and Chefs and sublime remarkable flavours from remarkable places, we have created this 74% dark couverture chocolate.
