Early in 2020 we visited a cocoa growth North of Ipoh with MYSI* researchers to develop nouveau fermentation methods that would make chocolates that are healthier and more flavorful. Typically, cocoa fermentation takes between five to seven days, but in results recently published in the Journal of The Science of Food and Agriculture**, we found a way to ferment for as short as three days, while using cocoa harvested earlier; yet producing more phenolic content, antioxidant and epicatechin, each with added health benefits. Notably, the chocolate acquired rich and deep yet clean flavors that impressed our tasting panels.
This is the bar, made exclusively for Dewakan.
