the beans for this bar come from freddy salazars estate in northern ecuador near the coast. this chocolate is also a huge technological milestone for us, as its the first bar weve made using the ball mill and a rotary conch at our 16th street factory that opened in april, 2019.
eric, our origin owner for costa esmeraldas, has spent time at the farm with its manager, freddy salazar. eric was able to see how much attention freddy and his team put into every step of the process, including pruning trees, managing disease in the field, efficient harvesting practices, and clean loading of the fermentation boxes to ensure a clean facility. freddy has built one of the most sophisticated processes weve seen, and it shows through in the flavor of his beans.were excited about the beans the farm is producing, and the delicious roast profile that eric has developed for them.
