Fruition Chocolate Works Ghana Three Mountains 74% Dark

The cocoa beans are sourced from the Three Mountains region in Ghana, a country known for producing some of the world's highest-quality bulk and fine-flavor cacao. Fruition Chocolate Works, based in Shokan, New York, processes these beans through their bean-to-bar production method.

This single-origin dark chocolate bar is known for showcasing notes of fruit and spice, which are characteristic of well-fermented Ghanaian cacao. The 74% cocoa content strikes a balance between intensity and accessibility, allowing the bean's natural flavors to come through.

The bar is produced by Fruition Chocolate Works, an artisanal bean-to-bar chocolate maker based in the Catskill Mountains region of New York State. The company is known for working directly with cacao producers and emphasizing single-origin flavors.

Bean-to-bar means Fruition handles the entire chocolate-making process starting from raw, whole cocoa beans rather than using pre-made chocolate couverture. This allows them to control roasting, winnowing, grinding, conching, and tempering to highlight the specific flavor profile of the Ghanaian beans.
