Organic Los Ancones 73% Dark Baking Chocolate – Single-Origin Couverture, Vegan, and Gluten-Free
Craft unforgettable desserts with Cluizel Organic Los Ancones 73% Dark Baking Chocolate, a gourmet single-origin couverture from the Los Anconès Plantation in the Dominican Republic. This premium 73% dark chocolate is certified organic, vegan, and gluten-free, offering a complex flavor profile with elegant notes of licorice wood, red fruits, and green olive.
Sourced from cocoa beans grown under the protective canopy of palm trees and cultivated without pesticides by the Rizek family since 1903, this chocolate reflects generations of sustainable farming in the Caribbean’s rich, rain-fed soils.
Perfect for ganache, mousse, flourless cakes, and artisan confections, this chocolate delivers both high performance and refined taste.
Melting Tip: For best results, melt gently using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently to avoid scorching.
Ideal for professional pastry chefs and home bakers seeking bold, organic flavor with a touch of terroir.
