Discover Chocolate and Live La Vida Cocoa!
ORIGINAL BEANS: Beni Wild Harvest
This chocolate is made from wild-harvest beans that grow on the “Chocolatales”, the chocolate islands, in the Beni region of the Bolivian Amazon. During the wet season, the expert collectors from the indigenous Maucaraje and Baures go out in canoes for weeks to gather the cacao in spots only they know – across a landscape as large Illinois and Indiana put together. The delicate beans are so small in size that they require specially modified roasters that few chocolate-makers have. This rare chocolate is conched for sixty hours to create a voluptuous, rounded chocolate with a lingering finish. It melts into notes of honeyed black tea, tobacco flowers, and cognac.

Following the recipe with this chocolate of Original Beans (or 68-70% cacao):
Chocolate Mousse
70 g / 2.4 oz granulated sugar
60 g / 2.1 oz egg yolk
50 g / 1.7 oz whole eggs
30 g / 1.0 oz milk
3 g / 0.1 oz gelatine
130 g / 4.5 oz couverture 68-70%
250 g / 8.7 oz heavy cream, 35%, whipped
Mix granulated sugar, egg yolk and whole eggs well. Boil milk before adding to the egg mixture.
Reboil to cream anglaise (86°C). Sieve. Add dissolved gelatine leaves, and chocolate 68-70%.
