Fermentation and Roasting Records

Roasting dynamics

Convection Below 120 Degrees

Gently roasting micro-batches under low convective heat preserves volatile floral esters that high commercial drum temperatures burn away.

Sensory protocol

Palate Calibration for Pure Bars

Tasting unadulterated seventy percent cacao requires resting a square against the palate until natural cocoa butter melts without friction.

Regional terroir

Marañón Canyon Canyon Flora

High-altitude canyon walls insulate rare white cacao trees, producing a delicate profile marked by floral jasmine and toasted hazelnut.

Sensory evaluation

Unalkalized Amazonian cacao retains a natural tart redcurrant brightness that artificial processing permanently flattens.
