KAMILI PRALINE HAZELNUTS BLACK OLIVES

A dark chocolate plate with a hazelnut and black olive praline insert. Our Piedmont Hazelnut praline is enhanced by the powerful flavor of Nyons black olives, presented in small pieces dehydrated by us.

This olive gives subtle flavors with hints of chocolate, vanilla, and undergrowth.

A mouth-watering contrast between the biscuity notes of hazelnut and the character of black olive. And chocolate with notes of (red) fruit for harmony.

In Swahili, Kamili means "absolutely." This name perfectly reflects the commitment of this cocoa industry, rooted in the heart of Tanzania, in the fertile Kilombero Valley. Located west of the Udzungwa Mountains Nature Reserve, this agricultural region enjoys a warm and humid climate ideal for growing cocoa.

Since 2015, this unique terroir has been home to more than 4,000 small family farms—each approximately 2 hectares in size—that practice agroforestry. Among them, 1,200 are certified organic. The cacao trees here primarily produce Trinitario beans (a cross between the Criollo and Forastero varieties), as well as the less common Neo-Nacional beans.

The aromatic profile of Kamili cocoa is distinguished by a beautiful roundness, balanced acidity and notes of red fruits (cherry, plum, berry) enhanced by floral nuances such as violet or rose.

Since 2020, we've been using these beans to make our Kamili 76% dark chocolate. Its aromatic range and baking stability make it an ideal ingredient for our homemade pastries, as well as our coated dried fruits and rocks.

In September 2022, we had the privilege of participating in the harvest and meeting Simrane Bindra, founder of Kokoa Kamili, as well as her teams in the field.

Once fermented and dried, the beans are packaged in 62 kg bags. They are then shipped to Antwerp to Silva Cacao, our import partner, before arriving at our factory.

Each batch is processed separately in a bean-to-bar "micro batch" fashion to best preserve the aromatic subtleties specific to each harvest. The beans are tasted, hand-sorted, slow-roasted at low temperatures, and then processed with unrefined cane sugar. The whole process is stone-conched for three days, then aged for three weeks before being shaped.

This pure chocolate will be used for our bars, our coated dried fruits and various pastry creations such as our soft, fondant or cookies.
