Malaysia - Semai Community 72% Dark Chocolate - Fossa

The Semai Orang Asli community of Kampung Long B in Pahang, Malaysia lives in harmony with the forests, cultivating pesticide-free cacao in this agroforestry to preserve natural biodiversity.

Made with cacao from their 2020 November harvest, this batch was fermented in used whisky oak barrels for 6 days with 3 turns in between. They were then dried on raised wooden beds in an enclosed greenhouse, allowing control over dry rate. The reward is beans with an intoxicating aroma.

• Ingredients: Cacao beans (72%), cane sugar
