This bar has actually been many years in the making. Not long after starting J.Cocoa back in 2015 I was very kindly invited to meet with the Franceschi's, Juan Diego and his father Juan De Dios. They were so enthusiastic and passionate about their cacao, and it was
amazing to hear about their families history with Venezuelan cacao dating back to 1828.
They produce an amazing variety of cacao beans, but the beans for this bar are actually from Juan De Dios personal project grown from a small amount of trees on their estate. A very small yield, but carefully cared for by Juan himself, producing possibly one of the
finest cacao beans I have ever tasted. This is a very special limited edition chocolate, so I hope you enjoy as much as we have here at J.Cocoa!
We sustainably handcraft our chocolate from bean to bar in Hassocks, West Sussex. We roast, crack, grade, winnow, stone grind & conch our single origin beans into chocolate over 2 weeks then let it mature to develop its own natural, unique & complex flavours before we temper, mould & package ready to be enjoyed.
