Cocoa is grown here with care by the Saavedra del Castillo family, along with six other farmers. The cocoa beans are fermented in wooden boxes for 6 to 8 days, then naturally sun-dried on a concrete floor, to reveal the full richness of their aromas.

Alto El Sol 65% dark couverture chocolate in particular is a true vintage, with a unique aromatic profile that evolves over the years. Its red fruit notes and dominant acidity make Alto El Sol 65% an intense, highly fruity chocolate, with a remarkably lasting taste.

With a minimum cocoa content of 65% and a fat content of 37%, this BIO-certified dark couverture chocolate is perfect for all your culinary creations.
