Description
This 72% dark chocolate bar is made with ‘B6’ cacao from Cacao Betulia is Maceo, Antioquia, Colombia. It features almost 100% white beans resulting in a light color chocolate rich in caramel notes.
Craft & Origin
Johnty Tatham produces Lucid chocolate in the Coastal Wairarapa region of New Zealand from a remote farm location. He employs a rigorous bean-to-bar process using the rare B6 variety—a direct descendant of pure Criollo—sourced from Cacao Betulia in Maceo, Antioquia, Colombia. This exceptional harvest is characterized by nearly 100% white beans, indicating an absence of the tannins that typically contribute to bitterness. The resulting chocolate is strikingly light in color, offering a profile of herbal butterscotch and gentle nutty notes. The chocolate production focuses on highlighting this delicate, non-astringent character through precise roasting and controlled conching processes. This technical approach yields a sophisticated bar that celebrates original vision and genetic rarity through the expressive medium of Betulia B6 Criollo.
Flavor & Texture
Primary notes of butterscotch, subtle toasted macadamia and herbs. The texture is smooth and firm with a clean, professional snap.
How to Use
