Dark São Tomé Single Origin

Description

From the remote island of São Tomé in the Gulf of Guinea, having a climate and an ideal territory for its cultivation, Icam has selected a cocoa among the finest of African origin.
Characteristic cocoa profile, aromatic, intense, begins with a subtle and evanescent acidity and a pleasant note of astringency; the marked bitterness and the broad amplitude of the typical aromas of cocoa emerge immediately, along with nuances of tobacco. It ends with a long finish of cocoa and a final balanced bitter.

Recipe with no lecithin
