Svenska Kakao Sea Salt 74%

Sea salt in dark chocolate. A classic combination. The salty and the sweet.

The sea salt comes from the small Danish island of Läsö in the Kattegatt Sea - the very same Kattegatt mentioned in many television series and movies about vikings! Salt was mined there already in the Middle Ages. Læsø salt works according to age-old traditions where the salty groundwater from the Kattegatt is allowed to boil slowly over open fires. Every morning the salt is collected and left to dry in wicker baskets.

Svenska Kakao have combined the salt with their single origin Tanzania 74% dark chocolate.

Cacao Origin

Kokoa Kamili Cooperative, Mbingu, Tanzania

Cacao Variety

Cacao has a long history in Tanzania, with the first introduction of the tree to the country likely taking place in the 1880s with several re-introductions of material over the past 150 years. Unfortunately, with time, the records of where the trees came from and how they were selected have long been lost, so speculations on the varieties present in Tanzania were just that - speculations. Thanks to the kindness of the Agricultural Research Service at the USDA, Kokoa Kamili were able to submit a sample of their beans for DNA analysis, and the results were fascinating!

Analysis has showed that Kokoa Kamili's beans are predominantly a classic Trinitario (Amelonado x Criollo), with the slight presence of Neo-Nacional!
