75% dark chocolate with roasted cashew.
Lam Dong cacao
Nakano Mame fermentation in our own workshop
No preservatives
Real ingredients, no flavourings
Made in Da Lat
Whole process in the BALAVA workshop
What it is like
A 75% dark base with clear bitterness, and roasted cashews inside for textural contrast. The more bitter the base, the more the nuttiness of the cashew stands out.
Why this raw material is different
The difference is made at fermentation — the stage that determines most of the final flavour. Most producers buy beans already fermented by someone else; BALAVA runs this stage too, by the Nakano Mame method with time and temperature closely controlled.
How to use it
A snack with tea or black coffee. A good gift for dark chocolate drinkers.
