Schokolade Grand Cru Noisette 72% from Confiserie Sprüngli represents a refined harmony between the intensity of cacao and the delicacy of nutty texture. It is crafted from Arriba cacao grown in the Esmeraldas region of Ecuador, renowned for its rich, floral-fruity notes and natural elegance of flavor.
With 72% cacao content, this chocolate delivers a deep, pure aroma with balanced bitterness and a long, lingering finish. Caramelized Piedmont hazelnuts are carefully blended into the chocolate, creating a perfect contrast between crispness and creamy smoothness.
The texture is silky yet layered - each bite reveals hints of roasted nuts, subtle honey tones, and a gentle smokiness derived from high-quality cacao fermentation. The result is a chocolate of deep color, velvety structure, and enduring aroma, crafted for true dark-chocolate connoisseurs who seek the balance between the strength of cacao and the finesse of artisanal craftsmanship.
