Fruition Dominican Oko Caribe 68%
Fruition begins by selecting ethically sourced and flavorful cocoa beans, then transforms them into exquisite chocolates. Using both traditional and modern techniques, they handcraft award-winning bars and confections with a critical eye for detail. OKO Caribe (Organic and Direct Trade) has perfected the art of working with small farmers in the San Francisco de Macoris region, Duarte province of the Dominican Republic. Business owners Gualberto and Adriano consistently deliver this high-quality cacao, with deep chocolate and red fruit notes. They have personal relationships with all farmers, offering microfinance loans for cacao-related expenses, as well as personal loans for family emergencies or other community needs. From these beans, Fruition crafts a lightly roasted dark chocolate bar, that is bright and balanced with a lingering richness enhanced by the addition of whole vanilla beans.

TASTING NOTES: Deep fudgy chocolate, bright red fruit.
The origin of the cocoa bean is the Dominican Republic.
