Theobroma Grandiflorum (Cupuacu 80%)

Description

In a recent review, the Guardian had this to say:

“This is a gourmet product, made using the beans of the tangy cupuaçu fruit, from the same plant family – Theobroma – to which cacao belongs. The company making it is Amma – a premium, organic bean-to-bar brand in Brazil whose regular chocolates have scooped up a number of International Chocolate awards in the past couple of years. The cupuaçu fruit (Latin name Theobroma grandiflorum, and pronounced coo-poo-asoo) is processed in the same way as cacao (Theobroma cacao), using 80% cupuaçu solids, for Amma’s new bar. Reviewers online seem intrigued and delighted in equal measure, and it’s particularly noted for its creaminess.

Diego Badaró – the founder of Amma and the fifth generation of a family of cacao producers in Bahia, north-east of the country – describes his cupuaçu bar as “a combination between fruits and the forest. Cupuaçu is a tropical fruit, so it’s sweet and acidic at the same time … The bar has that combination, with notes of walnuts and earth.””
