Hazelnut Chocolate Bar

60% CACAO. SINGLE ORIGIN: COLOMBIA. 70g BAR.

£8.50

60% cacao. A dark take on the Italian gianduja tradition, where the hazelnut and the cacao become one within the chocolate. Piedmont hazelnuts, from a harvested noccioleto grove, are stone-ground smooth into the chocolate, with whole roasted hazelnuts finished with sea-salt and maple syrup to bring the texture. Our own maple sugar, made in-house, runs deep within the rich notes.

Take a closer look

The initial melt brings an immediate and recognisable hazelnut flavour. The base dark cacao is present throughout. The sweetness never takes over. The natural depth of the forest is never far away.

The whole roasted hazelnut inclusions arrive as texture. Dry, crisp, earthy rather than salty. The sea-salt is doing quieter work here, drawing out the natural character of the nut.

Our maple sugar is made in-house, from Canadian maple syrup: taken through precise temperature profiles and stirring sequences until the golden liquid becomes a crystal. In the bar it arrives last, in the finish, as a lingering richness that deepens without sweetening. The chocolate stays dark. The hazelnut stays present. The maple balances both.

This is a bar that belongs right at the end of the day. When the sun touches the horizon and the light is still golden and the temperature is still holding. The chocolate is finished. And it’s time to go home.
