Description
In celebration of the Year of the Horse, we collaborated with Olivia from YI SHI Cacao Collective to bring you this special chocolate bar made with pineapple biscuits and Taiwanese Maqaw pepper. Crunchy pieces of Pineapple biscuit, crafted with Olivia’s house-made pineapple jam, are sprinkled into this 55% dark milk chocolate made with cacao from Tupi, in the southern Philippines.
The chocolate is stone ground for 24 hours and infused with Maqaw (馬告), also known as Taiwan mountain pepper, a rare and cherished Indigenous spice with bright notes of lemongrass, ginger, and citrus, giving the chocolate a lively, layered aroma and, being the Year of Horse, finishing with a little bit of kick!
The beautiful artwork was created by our friend and Vancouver-based artist Ann Liao (http://www.annliao.com/).
To all our friends, old and new may your year be filled with good health and many blessings!
