KAMILI 76%

This KAMILI chocolate is made at PLAQ with an African bean from Tanzania. This is a very nice introduction to the PLAQ style.
It is easy and direct, slightly tangy at the beginning, very round and smooth on the palate without any bitterness.

At PLAQ we have made this chocolate, a PLAQ to enjoy but also our chocolate for cooking because we believe that to have a cake or a drink that has a REAL chocolate taste you must use very good chocolate.

We therefore find it in all PLAQ cakes in our manufacture boutique (available to take away or to eat on site).

It is also possible to buy it online to make your cakes at home or a delicious hot chocolate. It is then ground or grated which allows it to melt better.

Finally, it is also delicious with hazelnuts or whole pistachios and you will therefore find it in our mendiant bars.

Red fruits and dried fruits. Biscuit. Round, smooth and chocolatey finish.

2 INGREDIENTS. NOTHING ELSE.

Kamili organic cocoa beans from Morogoro Tanzania (76%) and unrefined organic cane sugar from the state of São Paulo Brazil (24%). No added cocoa butter or lecithin.

“Kamili” means “Absolutely” in Swahili.
It is in the heart of Tanzania, in the Kilombero Valley to the west of the Udzungwa Mountains National Reserve, that cocoa trees are grown. This is in this important agricultural region, very fertile and with a hot and humid climate, that Kamili cocoa has been cultivated since 2015.

The beans are grown by 4,000 independent farms of 2 hectares on average, cultivated in agro-forestry. 1,200 have the organic label.

Kamili cocoa beans are composed of Trinitario beans, a hybrid variety resulting from the mixture of Criollo and Forastero beans, and Neo-Nacional beans. Kamili is a round, tangy cocoa, with notes of red fruits (cherries, berries and plums) and floral notes reminiscent of violet or rose.

Used since 2020 for the manufacture of our Kamili 76% chocolate, it is particularly suitable for cooking, in our pastries and for combining with dried fruits, in our coated dried fruits and rocks.

We had the chance to participate in the September 2022 harvest during which we met Simrane Bindra, the founder, and all of her teams.

Once fermented and dried, the beans are packaged in 62 kilo bags before being shipped to Antwerp to our partner Silva Cacao and then delivered to the Manufacture.

Each bag delivered is individually transformed into chocolate in the Bean To Bar philosophy, in a "micro batch", in order to stay as close as possible to the aromatic specificities which can vary from one batch to another.

The beans are tasted, sorted, roasted at low temperature, mixed with unrefined cane sugar, stone-conched for 3 days before resting for 3 weeks.

The chocolate thus obtained will then be melted to be molded and packaged into bars or used to coat our dried fruits and rocks, or in pastries (fondant, soft, cookies, etc.).
