Origin and production

The cocoa beans for Carma Dark Lesuk 65% come from sustainably managed plantations. Great importance is attached to transparency and fair working conditions during production. The beans are carefully fermented, dried and gently roasted so that the fine aromas can develop optimally. Thanks to the reduced addition of sugar, the characteristic taste of the cocoa bean remains the focus and is complemented by fruity and aromatic nuances.

Cocoa Horizons Program

With this chocolate, you are supporting sustainable cocoa cultivation and fair conditions for cocoa farmers. Part of the proceeds go to programs run by the Cocoa Horizons Foundation. These promote training, better cultivation methods, fair living conditions and environmental protection. In this way, you help to safeguard the quality of cocoa in the long term and strengthen the future of producers.

Flavor profile and texture

When enjoyed, it has a pleasant, firm texture that melts gently on your tongue. The aromas develop in several stages. First you perceive a subtle bitterness, followed by fruity and slightly floral notes. A subtle nutty impression emerges at the end. The sweetness is deliberately restrained so that the complex aroma remains in the foreground. This balance makes the chocolate ideal for conscious enjoyment, as an accompaniment to espresso or as an ingredient in desserts.

Why Carma Dark Lesuk 65% choose

If you value high-quality ingredients and responsible production, this chocolate is the right choice for you. In addition to its intense taste, it impresses with its transparent origin and fair production conditions. The high cocoa content and balanced composition provide you with an authentic taste experience.

Carma Lesuk temperature control

To temper, melt two thirds of the desired couverture at around 45 degrees. Then leave the mixture to cool and add the remaining third. Stir the mixture until it reaches a temperature of 28 to 29 degrees. Then heat it up again to 32 to 33 degrees. As soon as the couverture has completely melted, you can test it. If it sets nicely and has an even gloss, it is correctly tempered and ready for further processing. A tempering device can help you with this, but is not absolutely necessary.

Use and storage

You can use the tempered couverture to mold chocolates, make chocolate bars or create decorative elements for desserts. For example, you can make intricate shapes or create a decorative edge for your cake. Couverture is also very suitable for fillings. In combination with a ganache and fruity components, you can create fine praline creations. Nut fillings or fruity flavors can also be harmoniously integrated.

Store the couverture in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. A temperature between 15 and 20 degrees is ideal to preserve the aroma and texture. Avoid strong odors in the environment, as chocolate can absorb them.
