Save 40% on Felchlin Cru Sauvage Bolivia 68%
Widely scattered cacao islands, Bolivia This unique and rare wild cacao originates in the Bolivian lowlands in the province of Beni.
The rich, harmonious cacao flavour is complemented by the aromas expressing the freshness of lemon and the fruitiness of grapefruit. The traditional, gentle processing method (60 hours conching) exquisitely unfolds the prune bouquet and vanilla note. The exceptionally pleasant fruit acidity and long-lasting finish make it a unique culinary experience. For more information on Felchlin, please visit their website felchlin.com.
