1 lb Chef Tablet - Dominican Republic 72%
Because every recipe deserves the best ingredients...Castronovo's fine flavor chocolate will add richness and flavor depth to brownies, flourless cakes, ganache, truffles, cookies, pots de creme, and many other desserts or sauces. This 1 pound baker's block of chocolate is made from cocoa beans sourced from the lush valleys in the Duarte province of the Dominican Republic, a region with the best cacao in the country.
Last fall at the Salon du Chocolat in Paris, I met Charles, an ecologist like myself who founded Zorzal Cacao. Within a private reserve of mountainous rainforest in the Duarte province, Charles is demonstrating that organic cacao production can serve as an economic model to finance biodiversity conservation for birds and other wildlife. The Zorzal reserve serves as a winter home for several migratory birds that fly from northeastern coniferous mountain forests to the rainforest of the Dominican Republic, including the threatened Bicknell thrush (Zorzal in Spanish) for which the reserve is named after. By purchasing this chocolate, you are participating in this conservation effort.
Enjoy the bright raspberry/strawberry flavors that fly on top of the rich chocolate depths of this beautiful chocolate. -Denise Castronovo
