"The best chocolate Rick Stein has ever tasted!"
A true masterpiece of balance and complexity, this Academy of Chocolate 2025 Silver Winner is crafted for those who love a sophisticated sweet-and-savoury profile. Sourced from the Oko Caribe in the Duarte Province of the Dominican Republic, this single-origin bar is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship.
What makes this bar truly exceptional is the Maldon sea salt, which is ground smooth through the chocolate for a full 72 hours. This process ensures there are no harsh crystals; instead, the salt is perfectly integrated, elevating the natural sweetness of the cacao and revealing deep, indulgent notes of salted caramel and roasted hazelnuts. The result is an incredibly moreish, silky-smooth chocolate that is both rich and remarkably complex.
