Better Orange
Better Orange
Cacao for this recipe is collected in the Duarte province. This recipe for us touches significantly on the concept of sustainability. During fermentation, we juxtapose the cacao beans with a tree that is commonly found in Dominican farms, which is the bitter orange.
The bitter orange has a very interesting characteristic… it contains very high aromatic value, which provides the cacao with incredible citric aromas that come through in the final chocolate profiles. We did a play on words for this profile, instead of bitter – we opted for better, since the orange gave it a better profile.
