70% Dark - Idukki Blend

Six-day ferment, 48-hour conche

The bar we are judged on. A blend of four Idukki farms, fermented six days in rosewood boxes and roasted at 118°C for 22 minutes, then conched 48 hours until the edge comes off the acidity but the fruit stays.

Snap is clean at 22°C and the melt is slow rather than waxy - there is no added fat beyond a little cocoa butter to bring the viscosity down for moulding. Best eaten within four months of the tempering date stamped on the back.

    The 70% actually tastes of fruit

    I have bought most Indian craft bars and this is the first 70% where the red banana note on the wrapper is genuinely there. The snap was perfect even though it travelled in April - the ice packs were still cold when it arrived.

    Ordered 60 Diwali hampers, zero follow-up needed

    We sent hampers to clients in four cities. The logo foiling matched our brand guideline exactly, all deliveries landed on the nominated date, and the GST invoice came through with our PO number already on it. Eleven days from approval to delivery.

    1,400 favours, one small hiccup

    The favour boxes were beautiful and the Gujarati printing on the sleeve was spot on. They pushed our dispatch by a day because of the heat, which they explained upfront - mildly stressful before a wedding, but the chocolate arrived in perfect condition.

    Missed the 82% and I am still annoyed

    Lot 26/04 sold out while I was deciding. Bought the truffle box instead and the filter coffee ganache is the best thing I have eaten this year. Please make more Kallar Valley.
