68% Dark Chocolate with Port (50 g) - Lucid Chocolatier

The 68% dark chocolate with port from Lucid Chocolatier combines cacao from Peru’s Marañón Valley with Taylor’s 10-year-old Tawny port, from the historic Portuguese house. The cacao nibs are immersed in the port to absorb its aromas before being transformed into chocolate.

On the palate, this bar reveals notes of prunes, oak, and intense cacao. Its smooth, refined texture, with a dense and structured melt, makes it an ideal after-dinner treat. It pairs well with aged Stilton, other blue cheeses, walnuts, or small black fruits.

Made by Johnty Tatham in Masterton, New Zealand, it follows a bean-to-bar approach. Its infusion technique is the result of extensive experimentation combining different styles of port and cacao from various origins to balance the cacao’s natural tannins with the aromas of the fortified wine.
