House of Anvers, Sydney Belgian Chocolate Skills & Tasmania's fresh clean climate combine to create the supreme chocolate experience. DARK Fortunato No 4 Peru, 68% Organic Pure Nacional

DARK Fortunato No 4 Peru, 68% Organic Pure Nacional, Syndey

This chocolate is genetically certified to be “Original Cacao”. The pure Nacional Cacao was thought to be extinct in 1916. Later on Criollo and Foresterra varieties were and are being sold as Nacional; they are not!!! The Cacao beans were discovered 10 years ago by Brian Horsley and Dan Pearson in the Maranon Valley in Peru. They have been genetically certified as the original cacao by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The beans are grown at 3250ft and produce purple and, unique to this variety, white beans.

Brian Horsley has set up farm and still works with the farmers to produce these exquisite unique cacao beans. The beans are shipped off to Switzerland and made into couverture chocolate using traditional roller conching methods.

Fortunato No4 is the most sought after chocolate in the world and Anvers Confectionery is proud to have the exclusive rights to be able to introduce it into the Australian market. New York’s Anthony Bourdain, Eric Ripert and Christopher Curtain market chocolate made from this bean variety as “Good and Evil” in the US with a price tag of $230 per kg. Anthony Bourdin calls this the Best chocolate in the world – I have tried many varieties in 30 years as chocolatier and I agree with Anthony to this extent: the best and most complex chocolate I have ever tasted.

Tasting Notes:

• Good clean snap and gloss (high cacao butter)
• Fruit aromas and flavours hit first followed by very, very long lingering dark roasted nut accents. Balanced acidity.
• Low bitterness for 68% cacao (due to white beans) and a background of savoury (Umami)
• This is a very powerful complex chocolate like no other (think Venezuela Criollo x10)

Facts:

• Chocolate from unique bean certified "REAL" Nacional
• 100% Organic: no lecithin, no Vanillin, no pesticides, no fumigants. No need for vanilla as the chocolate has abundance of aroma and flavour
• No slave labour – producer works with the farmers in the fields
• Chocolate produced on old method conching roller
• Melted chocolate is very liquid chocolate – easy to work with (high cacao butter- no cacao powder)
