KAMILI HAZELNUT PRALINE

A Pure dark bar with Piedmont hazelnut praline insert. An exquisite alliance between a fruity chocolate and a praline rich in hazelnuts and not very sweet.

The best Piedmont hazelnuts we've tasted (and we've really tasted a lot). The taste is pure and powerful.

This bar is made in small quantities to guarantee its freshness and intensity.
In PLAQ praline, always few ingredients but the best. And little sugar for more taste.

5 INGREDIENTS. NOTHING ELSE.

Kamili organic cocoa beans from Morogoro Tanzania (76%), unrefined organic cane sugar from the state of São Paulo Brazil (24%). Hazelnut praline insert: IGP hazelnuts from Piedmont Italy (64%), unrefined organic cane sugar from the state of São Paulo Brazil (21%), natural and traceable organic cocoa butter origin varying depending on the harvest (15%), flower of salt South-West France. Without lecithin.

“Kamili” means “Absolutely” in Swahili. In the heart of Tanzania’s Kilombero Valley, west of the Udzungwa Mountains National Reserve, cocoa trees thrive. This fertile agricultural region, characterized by its hot and humid climate, has been cultivating Kamili cocoa since 2015.

The beans are grown by 4,000 independent farms, each averaging 2 hectares, and are cultivated using agroforestry methods, with 1,200 of these farms holding organic certification.

Kamili cocoa beans are a blend of Trinitario beans— a hybrid variety resulting from the mix of Criollo and Forastero beans— and Neo-Nacional beans. Kamili cocoa is known for its round, tangy profile with notes of red fruits (cherries, berries, and plums) and subtle floral hints reminiscent of violet or rose.

Since 2020, we have used Kamili cocoa for our 76% chocolate, which is especially well-suited for cooking, pastries, and combining with dried fruits in our coated dried fruits and rocks.

We were fortunate to participate in the September 2022 harvest, where we met Simran Bindra, the founder, and her entire team.

After fermentation and drying, the beans are packaged in 62-kilo bags and shipped to Antwerp to our partner Silva Cacao before being delivered to our Manufacture.

Each bag is individually transformed into chocolate following the Bean-to-Bar philosophy in "micro-batches" to preserve the unique aromatic qualities that can vary from batch to batch.

The beans are tasted, sorted, roasted at low temperatures, mixed with unrefined cane sugar, stone-conched for 3 days, and then rested for 3 weeks.

The resulting chocolate is then melted, molded, and packaged into bars, or used to coat our dried fruits and rocks, or in pastries (fondants, soft cookies, etc.).
