This chocolate is made from the Heriloom Criollo variety found on isolated farms in Northern Nicaragua at 300-800 m altitude. The beans have been turned an extra time (so three times in total) during the 5-day fermentation. This gives a very smooth and gentle taste to this chocolate with a nice touch of acidity.

The taste is simple with a balanced acidity and notes of black olives and lemon peel. This chocolate won the European Silver at International Chocolate Awards in 2014.
