DESCRIPTION: Cacao pulp is the exquisite white liquid that covers the cacao bean. To create this special chocolate, Mashpi collect this elixir and transform it into a delicious liquid heart of this amazing bar, revealing the total potential of the famous Ecuadorian cacao. The reactions from this bar are always of surprise, but the descriptions we get about the flavor are as varied as the number of species that surround our cacao in our food forest. Some people describe the pulp as similar to balsamic vinegar, cherries, tart cherries, raspberries, honey, syrup, tart, sour, figs… the list goes on and on. The flavor is very unique!
TASTING NOTES: Initially, we taste jasmine , developing into caramel and finishing with tart cherry/balsamic vinegar from the pulp…
