Esmeraldas Dark 65% from Max Chocolatier is an elegant Grand Cru dark chocolate made from Ecuadorian cocoa grown in the Esmeraldas region, renowned for its tropical, humid climate and highly aromatic beans. Containing 65% cocoa solids, this chocolate is crafted using a minimal-processing approach with only three ingredients - cocoa beans, cocoa butter, and sugar.
The flavor reveals floral and tropical notes complemented by gentle hints of caramel, green tea, and nuts. Its profile is balanced and warm, without harsh bitterness, offering a long and pleasant finish.
The texture is fine and silky, melting cleanly to release layered aromas and the natural sweetness of cocoa. Esmeraldas Dark 65% captures the essence of Ecuador’s terroir combined with Swiss precision in craftsmanship, delivering a refined yet approachable dark-chocolate experience.
