Mayata Single Origin Costa Rica Tenorio Dark Chocolate Couverture 64%, 1kg

Mayata Grand Crus Costa Rica Tenorio 64% dark chocolate couverture drops add a zesty tangy to rich dark chocolate! Complex layers of chocolatey flavour build from sweeter notes of berries, cherries and citrus. It rounds to a zingy lingering finish. This is perfect if you want a true dark chocolate without any hint of bitterness. 

These couverture drops are extra-small which means they melt effortlessly and with the glossiest finish. They are ideal for both in professional kitchens and home bakers. Whip into an indulgent chocolate mousse, bake into gooey cookies or drizzle over elegant Pâtisseries. 

This dark chocolate couverture is made from Costa Rican hybrid Trinitario cocoa. In the north of the country, a chocolate-production revival has occurred. Thanks to the work of Juan Pablo, once abandoned cocoa farms are now flourishing. He has provided financial support and farm management training to over 400 farming families to bring the cocoa farms back to life. Theri new knowledge has enabled them to convert a passion for protecting their heritage into a thriving enterprise.

Try them in Mayata’s chocolate chip cookie recipe.

About Mayata

Mayata make chocolate like no other. They produce the finest and purest chocolate from hand-selected cocoa beans, sourced across Asia, Africa and the Americas. Cocoa beans have a rich spectrum of flavour and aromas, each variety being unique. It is this deep-rooted understanding and awareness of these qualities that sets Mayata’s chocolatiers apart. 

Their cocoa is carefully processed, to preserve the individual flavours of each bean. Low and slowly roasting reduces bitterness, before the crushed beans are combined with a perfect balance of cocoa mass. Mayata treat chocolate as an art, which you can taste in every bite.
