BELCOLADE Origins Noir Papua New Guinea 73 Cacao-Trace
Our Cacao-Trace expert, Sylvestre Awono, insists on taking the time to dry our organic beans
The BELCOLADE Origins range takes you back to the terroirs in which our cocoa beans are cultivated. The result is a range of distinctive single-origin chocolates that embodies the spirit of each region of origin. Papua New Guinea is the birth ground of some of the most flavorful cocoa beans around the world. Usually local farmers in this region dry their beans by using wooden fire. The smoke, however, had a huge impact on the natural flavors. We changed that. By implementing the purest possible way of drying: using only the sun. Gently, carefully, slowly, we dried. In addition we optimized the fermentation procedure and we careful roast the beans. All this to expose the authentic flavors of the cocoa bean. Together with our farmers we created a true chocolate taste, that surprised everyone. A long lasting, powerful taste, bitter and fruity. This unique chocolate combines the roasted flavors of coffee and hazelnut with notes of both fresh and dried fruit. Underlying hints of black pepper and honey complete the taste experience. We did not compromise. We never do. With Origins we go back to the roots of taste. True Taste!

BELCOLADE Selection is our range of Belgian taste classics. By crafting Amber we take the worldwide top trending caramel flavor to the next level. It takes you from a naturally salted-butter caramel boost to more creamy and cooked milk notes. The secret lies in a slow and gentle conching, enhancing a specific flavor bouquet without adding artificial flavors.
