LOS ANCONES

Damville, Normandy, France

PERCENT: min 67% Cacao

CACAO BEAN ORIGIN:   Santo Domingo

CHOCOLATIER: Michel Cluizel

PLANTATION:

I discovered the Los Ancones Plantation in a splendid environment to the north east of the island of Santo Domingo, at the heart of the Caribbean where the family Rizek has produced, since 1903, exqusite cocoa beans.

CHOCOLATIER'S TASTING NOTES:

Lengthily worked, the beans release in this chcolate their aromas of liquorice wood, then red berries and green olives with a lingering flavour of currants and apricots.
