A unique combination of Pump Street's two signature (and favourite) products; dark chocolate and sourdough. Their own bakery sourdough crumbs and a touch of sea salt add crunch and a smooth, malty flavour to the Ecuadorian chocolate.
This is a unique combination and to anyone's knowledge, when Pump Street launched this bar, it was the first time a chocolate bar had been made with sourdough.
Handmade from flour and bean to bar in Suffolk, UK.

Hacienda Limon, Los Rios, Ecudaor
Made from Heirloom Cacao Preservation accredited cocoa beans from Samuel von Rutte's Hacienda Limon farm on the Guantupi River in Ecuador.
Samuel von Rutte was born in Switzerland. He left his native country for Ecuador 25 years ago. He now lives with his family among the farmers to help grow and process these heirloom beans. He makes bulk chocolate in Ecuador, which he sells in Europe, the USA, and other markets.
The Hacienda Limon farm grows a cacao that is a genetic blend, but unsurprisingly it consists of almost two-thirds Nacional, as recorded by the Heirloom Cacao Preservation who have these results from the USDA:
63.4% Nacional
17.3% Amelonado
16.7% Upper Amazon Forastero
2.0% Criollo
