In Papua New Guinea, plantations are subjected to strict rules: from picking to drying, via the graining of the beans, everything is done to ensure rigorous quality supervision for the cocoa. The Maralumi plantation produces cocoa of the trinitario variety, with plenty of character.
Flavour profile:
The cocoa beans give this mellow chocolate slightly roasted and spicy avours, fresh notes of green bananas and acidulates avours of red currants prolonged by charming aromas of Havana tobacco leaves. The aftertaste breaks out in successive fresh, acidulated, and sharp notes ; then rounds off on a final chord of crystallized fruit.
