DARC Angel, 72% Dark Chocolate, Nicaragua – Mesjokke

Mesjokke, is a “bean to bar” chocolate maker from Leidsche Rijn. They source their coco beans directly from known distributors from across the coco growing regions which ensures they are paid a fair price. They then clean, roast, crack, and grind the cacao beans themselves giving them a tremendous amount of control over the finished product.

In their own words:

For us, making chocolate starts with the magic of the cocoa bean. We only buy very special types of cocoa, the taste of which can vary greatly depending on the country of origin, the type of soil and the way in which the cocoa is fermented.
