The sweet taste notes of the Dominican rum come out well in this chocolate. The beans for this chocolate have been soaked for 30 days in fine rum from the Dominican Republic. Delicious to drink a cup of tea, or to serve at the end after dinner.

More about the cacao origin:

FINCA ELVESIA

Finca Elvesia is a cacao plantation located in the northeastern part of the Dominican Republic where cacao plantations were first established on the island.

The plantation was founded at the end of the 19th century by Swiss immigrants in partnership with famous Swiss chocolatier Philippe Suchard. It became the largest cacao plantation in the Caribbean, even having its own railroad for transportation of the cacao to the port for export to Europe.

The farm has approximately 200 hectares of cacao with special fine flavour and aroma characteristics inherited from over 125 years of careful selection.

Definite Chocolate

Definite Chocolate is an artisan chocolate maker from the Dominican Republic.

Jens and Marjorie met in 2008. Marjorie is from the Dominican Republic and the couple and child moved there in 2015.

Jens wanted to be a chef from an early age, but became an engineer in the energy sector. Cooking became his hobby and took courses to make chocolates in his spare time. In 2014 he visited the Salon du Chocolat in Cologne and became addicted to chocolate.

In the Dominican Republic, he turned his hobby into his profession. Marjorie and Jens started Definite Chocolate, the first Dominican chocolate maker to win an award at the Academy of Chocolate in 2018. Definite grew, in 2019 it moved from the kitchen to a real workshop and a tempering machine was purchased – until then, Jens had been tempering by hand.

Jens and his staff make chocolate, Marjorie does everything around it: packaging design, finance, taste tests, social media and whatnot.

The motif on the beautiful packaging is derived from the decorations of the colonial houses that still stand on the island.
