Darksome Milk Chocolate Bar

60% CACAO. SINGLE ORIGIN: COLOMBIA. 57g BAR.

£8.00

60% cacao. Not quite dark. Not quite milk. Entirely deliberate. The “Darksome” framework is developed and named by MayHawk. This is the point where milk chocolate becomes something else. And it begins with a different set of choices.

The Darksome Framework we created, and focus our attention upon, is where: The sugar is reduced. The cacao is increased. The milk is retained.

Take a closer look

The crumbing process is a process we have developed and iterated upon in the studio: and this is the process that gives the bar its structural body. It is the discipline of slowly caramelising the milk and sugar together before the cacao is introduced. Adding in this extra step develops a natural caramel sweetness that doesn’t reach for more, and no extra sugar is needed. It means the sweetness is always kept in check.

What arrives is dark cacao with a remarkably creamy mouthfeel and no bitterness, with the complexity of a nutty base note. The finish subtly lingers. It’s closer to a rich Italian hot chocolate than anything the confectionery aisle has a name for. Dark cacao. Creamy finish.
