TREE TO BAR
The Journey
Does my favorite chocolate contain undesirable additives, ingredients, or fillers? Additionally, are the farmers involved in its production treated fairly and compensated adequately?
Mozake® Chocolate was created specifically to address these concerns, with ownership resting in the hands of cocoa farmers themselves, from tree to bar. We prioritize the use of fresh cocoa beans and minimize the use of additives whenever possible, maintaining an ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) friendly approach. Moreover, profits are reinvested back into the farming communities, supporting education for their children and enhancing their living standards.
How can you be sure the chocolate is excellent?
The Sniff Test
High-quality chocolate should smell strongly of chocolate. Check for a silky and not a sticky texture while you’re at it. A quality product smells of rich chocolate and not of spices, vanilla or other scents. The stronger the rich scent of chocolate, the greater the likelihood that you are about to enjoy a piece of high-quality chocolate.
Listen for Quality
Good chocolate has a clean, crisp, sharp snap when broken.
Taste Test
High-quality chocolate made with real cocoa feels smooth and velvety in your mouth. The taste of quality chocolate won’t leave your mouth quickly. Instead, the flavour should linger for several minutes after you finish the piece of chocolate.
Visual Test
Good chocolate should appear glossy with no blemishes or bubbles. Grey areas, cloudy spots, or swirls of discoloration tell a story of the chocolate’s past – and it could affect the consumer’s perspective of its quality. The taste of quality chocolate won’t leave your mouth quickly. Instead, the flavour should linger for several minutes after you finish the piece of chocolate.
Cocoa Percentages What’s In A Number?
Generally, the cocoa percentage of particular chocolate does affect the taste. Quality dark chocolate generally has a minimum of 60 percent cocoa. Chocolate with 80 percent cocoa offer more intense and moderately bitter flavour.
