Description

The floral and herbal flavours of summer honey are captured in Cocoa Retreat’s home-made Honeycomb and folded through Bejofo Estate Dark Milk chocolate to bring a wonderful crunch that contrasts beautifully with the creamy chocolate.

Master Beekeeper Margaret from Hendal Honey cares for her bees near Groombridge, and is a stall holder at the wonderful monthly Penshurst Farmers Market (which specialises in local food and drink).

As a dark chocolate this Heirloom Cacao (Designee #15) from Akessons’s organic farm Bejofo Estate in Sambirano Valley, Madagascar, presents the flavour profile this area is so famous for with citrusy, verjuice flavours and notes of ripe red fruits, nuts and toffee. As a Dark Milk the citrus softens and the toffee and nut flavours come to the fore.

Bejofo Estate is an organic cacao orchard that makes up one part of the 2000-hectare Akesson Estate in northwest Madagascar’s Sambirano valley. Akesson’s Estate is divided into four smaller estates-Madirofolo, Menavava, Bejofo, and Ambolikapik. It is managed by Bertil Akesson, who has specialized in growing ﬁne cocoa, pepper, and other spices for many years. Bejofo Estate produces 300 tons of cocoa a year. Bertil also sells chocolate made out of his own cocoa under the “Akesson’s Organic” brand, which is sold throughout the world.

Brand

Cocoa Retreat

Oenone Thomas crafts her micro-batch single origin craft chocolate, from bean to bar in Penshurst, Kent. "I sort, roast, crack and winnow, stone-grind and conch the tastiest beans, creating cacao liquor that is blended with organic cane sugar and the best supporting ingredients.

Chocolate bars are made in small batches, poured, moulded and wrapped by hand for guaranteed quality and attention to detail."

Oenone works to keep the supply chain as short, transparent and traceable as possible, buying her beans through specialist cacao sourcers Cacao Latitudes. Packaging is minimal, recyclable, biodegradable and compostable, with the see-through packaging reflecting cacao retreat's transparent approach to sourcing.
