IDUKKI COCONUT MILK

This IDUKKI vegan chocolate with coconut milk is made with one of the two types of cocoa beans we source from Asia. Idukki cocoa comes from Kerala in South India.

We chose these beans to create our “dark milk” bar. Here, we offer a vegan version made with coconut milk and coconut sugar. The strong coconut flavor blends harmoniously with the fruity and biscuity aromas of this cocoa. For coconut lovers, this chocolate quickly becomes a new favorite.

We also produce two other chocolates using Idukki cocoa beans: another vegan bar, the Idukki 58% Oat Milk, and our Idukki bar 58% Cow's Milk.

Fruity and sweet. Caramelized dried fruits. Intensely creamy coconut finish.

4 INGREDIENTS. NOTHING ELSE.

Organic Idukki cocoa beans from Kerala India (46%), organic coconut sugar from Indonesia (26%), natural and traceable organic cocoa butter, origin varying according to harvest (10%), organic coconut milk powder (65% MG) origin Indonesia (18%). Without lecithin.

Idukki cocoa hails from the state of Kerala in southwest India, a region affectionately nicknamed "the garden of God himself." The fertile land and humid climate of Kerala provide ideal conditions for growing cocoa trees.

Nestled in the hills of Idukki, around 200 farmers cultivate cocoa within the GoGround Beans & Spices agricultural cooperative. The cocoa is grown under forest canopies, surrounded by spice plantations, fruit trees, and palm trees, where the beans develop their fresh and spicy nuances.

Idukki cocoa beans are a blend of Forastero and Trinitario varieties. This cocoa is soft and creamy, with a certain freshness and hints of spices, cardamom, and pepper, complemented by nutty and dried fruit notes on the finish.

Beyond their aromatic qualities, these beans offer the unique opportunity to purchase cocoa butter directly from the producer. The cooperative uses its own hydraulic equipment to transform part of its production into cocoa butter and powder, preserving the beans' aromas. Such an offering is rare, as most of the world's cocoa butter and powder production is usually deodorized and untraceable, which is contrary to our expectations.

Each bag of Idukki cocoa is individually transformed into chocolate following the Bean-to-Bar philosophy, in small "micro-batches," to stay as close as possible to the specific aromatic characteristics that can vary from one batch to another.

The beans are tasted, sorted, roasted at low temperatures, mixed with unrefined cane sugar, cocoa butter, and cow's or sheep's milk powder, and then stone-conched for three days. The pure milk chocolate thus obtained is then melted, molded, and packaged into bars, or used to coat dried fruits and nuts, or in pastries.
