Description

This cocoa is harvested with a high Criollo content on the island of Java during the dry season between June and July (peak season) and between December and January (rainy season). The beans are grown on state plantations as well as delivered to the state collection center where they are dried. Once dry, they are subjected to a strict selection process to separate the light beans from the dark beans.

Three beans per group are cut open to determine the percentage of light refracting beans per group. Light refracting beans can be recognized by their light to medium brown color in the cut test.

Light and dark refracting beans are processed separately. The beans are fermented for four days in wooden boxes and usually dried in the sun. However, during the rainy season, the beans can be artificially dried, which gives them the typical smoky notes for which they are so well known and loved.

Taste-wise, the beans are rather acidic and have a slight lemon note. However, slightly bolder flavors such as leather and smoke are also common. The cocoa bean itself is very light, but bring a rather earthy / smoky flavor with it.

The bean from Indonesia is ideal for high-proof dark chocolate of 70-95%.
