Academy of Chocolate - Gold
2023
This 80% dark chocolate is notable for its inclusion of bellota, or acorn liquor, which is a distinctive element not commonly found in chocolate. Made by Chocolate Moro, a company that operates in the Extremadura region, this product is part of their innovative approach to combining local flavors with chocolate.
Chocolate con licor de bellota is characterized by its rich cocoa content, offering a deep, robust flavor that's balanced with the unique, nutty undertones provided by the bellota. This chocolate variety has earned recognition from the Academy of Chocolate, showcasing its high quality and unique infusion with acorn liqueur.
Chocolate Moro, located in Llerena, Badajoz, Spain, specializes in bean-to-bar chocolate. Founded by Fernando Moro and Ángeles Devesa, the company is notable for being the first in Extremadura to adopt this method, emphasizing a direct, ethical relationship with cocoa producers and using primarily Nicaraguan cocoa.
