BALAVA CHOCOLATE

BALAVA is a craft chocolate maker based in Da Lat, working with cacao sourced from Lam Dong, Vietnam.

What sets BALAVA apart is the scope of control. Rather than buying in semi-finished material, BALAVA also runs the fermentation stage — the step that determines most of the final flavour — using the Nakano Mame method, with time and temperature closely monitored so the beans develop their natural aroma, lose astringency and build a balanced flavour structure. Roasting, stone grinding, butter pressing, sifting and moulding all take place in our own workshop.
