Table Chocolate x Grococo Dark Milk Chocolate Bar 58%, 70g

Description

Superb Grenada dark milk chocolate with notes of redcurrant, Cabernet Sauvignon and raw cane sugar (panela). Table Chocolates’ expertise gives the bar its unmistakeable mellow silkiness. The Grenada Chocolate Company does not produce a milk bar in deference to its founder, the late Mott Green, who was an activist vegan. He revolutionised the cocoa industry in Grenada where there are now 5 chocolate factories (and counting!) with a population of just over 100,000 people!
But we feel that he might have enjoyed just a small taste of this delicious bar.
All the beans for this bar were grown on the 9 acre Grococo farm and harvested in December 2023. They were then shipped off the island just before Hurricane Beryl in June 2024. Normally all the Grococo beans are used by the Grenada chocolate company but these had slipped through the post-Covid organic certification net, and are organic in all but name.
Table are famous for their ‘Traceability on the Table’ strapline, and these beans were roasted at 125c for 19 minutes, then conched for 65 hours – an unusually long refining period, reflected in the mellow flavour.
