help Raaka Bourbon Cask Aged 82% Cacao FAQ
What does bourbon cask aged mean for Raaka's 82% bar?
Raaka ages cacao in used bourbon barrels before making the chocolate, so the bar picks up notes associated with oak, vanilla, and caramel. It is not a filled liquor chocolate like a bourbon truffle.
Is Raaka Bourbon Cask Aged 82% very bitter?
At 82% cacao, it is firmly in dark chocolate territory and has much less sugar than a typical 60% or 70% bar. The bourbon-barrel aroma can make it taste warmer and rounder even though the cacao percentage is high.
Where is Raaka Bourbon Cask Aged made?
Raaka is a Brooklyn chocolate maker known for unroasted dark chocolate bars. The Bourbon Cask Aged bar is part of that same bean-to-bar style rather than a mass-market candy bar.
What pairs well with Raaka Bourbon Cask Aged 82% Cacao?
It makes sense with coffee, an actual bourbon pour, or a not-too-sweet vanilla dessert because the bar already carries oak and caramel notes. A small 82% dark bar can overpower milk chocolate pairings, so lighter sweets work better.
