Plural and All in relief, this Plantation chocolate can be discovered like a landscape. The opening notes speak of the volcanic soil, and are roasted, textured and slightly spicy. The middle notes are more forthright, powerfully herbaceous, but short: the lingering finish is a bouquet of tropical fruit with hints of liquorice.

CHOCOLATE FROM THE VOLCANO OF THE TROPICS
It was from this land, a volcanic isthmus, an island bridge between chocolate and the world, that the cocoa trees that would make Africa the world's leading cocoa producer were planted. São Tomé is both the memory of the time of exploration and the promise of the time of rediscovery.
For more than two centuries, the entire island has lived to the rhythm of cocoa farming, a small part of the world's cocoa production.
Despite its Portuguese name, Sao Tomé is the African setting for Brazilian cocoa trees. The volcanic and mineral soil is not the only good thing about the island. The equatorial climate and the ocean that besiege São Tomé offer cocoa enriched with powerful, iodised sea spray and exotic fragrances. The chocolate created by Manufacture CLUIZEL is a mineral hybrid, injected with wild and herbaceous flavours.
For 20 years, each of Our chocolates from Plantation has highlighted its own story and the story of how the Manufacture came to meet the families of the planters with whom it works. The ties that bind them are based on dialogue, respect and constant exchange.
Vila Gracinda, a Plantation with singular know-how
The beans are placed in three different containers... each for forty-eight hours and aerated daily by hand stirring. This constant movement gives rise to a characteristic aromatic fermentary note, airy, deliberate and recognizable.
A unique roasting process
The maritime-influenced flavors and fruity notes of the beans' terroir do not react in the same way to roasting. The Manufacture has opted for a flash-roasting process that transfigures the beans evenly. As a result, they deliver all their flavors in bewitching harmony, whatever their origin.
In the 17th century, cocoa landed on the small island of Santo Domingo. At that time, split cocoa pods were offered to the pagan gods and a hot chocolate laden with spices was drunk in their honour.
The essence of chocolate through this collection, at the source of singular and ancestral notes.
