Flavor Notes: 

Located in the tropical mountains, Saloy is nourished by fresh spring water flowing through its lush farms, giving its chocolate very dynamic notes of herbs, bergamot & cherries

Description:

Best of 70% Micro-origin Collection

What makes Auro's 70% limited edition chocolates an extraordinary experience is you get to taste the complex notes of the finest cacao beans which were hand-sorted from a one year's harvest from a very specific farm, hence "single-estate" or "micro-origin".

This bar pays homage to the name of the place where its beans and farmers are from. Like wine, it carries with it all the remarkable flavors of its "terroir" - from the soil, the sunshine, the rainfall that year and the water that nourishes the cacao trees. 

Recommendation

Crafted with Auro's perfected recipe and with just three simple ingredients, the flavor profiles in the 70% Reserve Collection (Saloy, Paquibato and Tupi) are all different. We highly recommend that you taste them side by side to fully capture the essence of the micro-origins.
