Lucid Chocolatier | 47% Milk Caramel - Tonka

47% caramelised milk chocolate with delicate Tonka bean vanilla flavours

This bar is special. Starting with a very smooth, caramelised milk chocolate (47%) from Peru, Lucid Chocolatier adds Tonka bean to this chocolate which results in delicate notes of almond, nutmeg and vanilla against a milky, caramel backdrop.

What is the Tonka Bean?

The Tonka bean is virtually unheard of in Australia. Grown in the tropical regions of South America, particularly Mexico, they are prized by chefs and chocolate makers around the world (particularly the French who are known to have 'Tonka Fever') for the bean's 'mystical aromas' - think vanilla, almond, spice, cinnamon - and freshly cut grass.

When added to this chocolate, the Tonka beans accentuates the full bodied caramelisation of the bar.

Small batch bean to bar chocolate, lovingly made in New Zealand.
