Dark chocolate GAYAS 70%

Ecuador - Cerecita

Description

Gayas 70% unveils its dense structure with a fabulous flavour profile. The initial flavour is light before cocoa notes with a vanilla tone flood in, underpinned by hints of coconut and floral notes.

Origin

Chocolaterie de l'Opéra works in partnership with the Hacienda Victoria plantation, which is committed to preserving the Nacional Arriba cocoa variety through responsible and sustainable farming practices. Certified by the Rainforest Alliance, this plantation has successfully revitalised a former dry forest through responsible soil management and the replanting of thousands of native trees, thereby protecting local biodiversity. Alongside these environmental standards, the plantation pays particular attention to the well-being of its workers, with staff turnover of less than 1% since the plantation was established in 2011, medical check-ups every two weeks, and Rainforest Alliance-certified facilities.
