Step into the captivating world of Indonesian cacao beans, precisely sourced from the mesmerising East Java micro-lot and exclusively presented by Chocolat Philippe. Nestled within the fertile volcanic soils of the revered ‘Ijen Plateau,’ these cacao beans are nothing short of a marvel, promising an exceptional flavour journey that will transport your taste buds to uncharted territories.

What sets our East Java cacao apart is the meticulous post-harvest processing it undergoes. Each bean undergoes a carefully controlled fermentation process that unlocks the hidden depths of its rich flavour profile. The result is a symphony of nuanced notes, ranging from delightful fruitiness to subtle earthy undertones, designed to tantalise even the most discerning palates.

Following fermentation, the beans receive special treatment – an intensive washing process that bestows upon them a unique crispy white exterior shell. This distinctive characteristic transforms our dark chocolate into a vision reminiscent of a velvety milk bar. The outcome is a visual and gastronomic delight, a harmonious balance of the boldness of dark chocolate and the luscious creaminess of slightly milky dark chocolate.

At Chocolat Philippe, we take immense pride in presenting this exceptional micro-lot, sourced exclusively from a single farmer. The dedication and passion invested in cultivating these cacao beans guarantee that every bite offers an experience like no other. Delight in the divine flavours of East Java’s micro-lot and savour the essence of this captivating terroir with every delectable piece of chocolate.
