Six tasters, blind, three sittings. Scores are the median, not the mean, so one outlier palate cannot move the shape.

Wet beans were boxed the day they were cut, turned every 24 hours, then sun-dried on raised beds until they held twelve per cent moisture. Nothing in this record is averaged across harvests.
Industrial cacao butter is steam-deodorised until it smells of nothing, because that makes it useful in cosmetics. Ours is cold-pressed from Rio Verde nib and left alone, so it carries a faint blossom note and a clean cocoa smell.
Use it for tempering, for enriching a ganache, or for baking where coconut oil would otherwise go. It sets hard and it snaps.
150 g in discs, which melt more evenly than a solid block. Melting point sits between 34 and 38 °C.
