Land - Chuno 58% Milk Chocolate Bar

Description

For this single origin milk bar, Phil at Land has used Chuno beans from Nicaragua. Crafting his chocolate in London’s very own Bethnal Green, Nicaraguan cacao plays a central role in Land’s first chocolate collection.
Chuno is a Trinitario hybrid and it is said to be an ancestor of Venezuela’s Criollo trees. However, it is typically found in the northern highlands of Nicaragua.
We found this to be a delectably chocolatey and creamy bar – just what you want out of a milk chocolate but just wait for the added layers to kick in. The malted, creamy notes underpin this bar but as the chocolate melts, the bar develops a subtle fruity acidity before rounding off with a nutty profile. If you’re looking for a more complex milk chocolate, then this is one for you!
This bar achieved a Bronze at the Academy of Chocolate Awards 2017.
