To carry off a palatable 100% you need mellow beans, like this Arriba Nacional cocoa, excellent fermentation and drying, and finally a long conching time to make it as mellow as possible. Look out for an immediate and intense cocoa hit, which fades to allow layers of dried fruits, roasted nuts and a hint of jasmine to show themselves.
