Zotter Labooko 68% Togo

Zotter sources cacao beans directly from Togo, a West African nation, for this specific Labooko bar. This direct sourcing relationship is part of Zotter's bean-to-bar philosophy, which emphasizes transparency and fair compensation for cacao farmers.

Zotter's Labooko line is their bean-to-bar chocolate series focused on single-origin cacao, with each bar highlighting beans from a specific region or cooperative. The line is designed to showcase how different cacao origins produce distinct flavor profiles, similar to single-origin coffee or wine.

Zotter's Labooko dark chocolate bars, including the 68% Togo, are typically made without milk products, making them suitable for vegans. Zotter is also known for being an organic and fair-trade certified producer, operating from their facility in Bergl near Riegersburg in Austria.

The 68% Togo bar is described as having a rich, intense dark chocolate flavor characteristic of West African cacao, which tends to be robust and earthy. At 68% cocoa content, it balances intensity with approachability, making it less bitter than higher-percentage bars while still showcasing the terroir of Togo's cacao.
