72% dark chocolate TDrops – balance, finesse and Swiss traceability
Designed for artisans and gastronomy professionals, our 72% dark chocolate drops combine cocoa intensity with balanced sweetness. Made by a Swiss artisan chocolatier, it highlights the exceptional qualities of Nacional Arriba beans, harvested in the Ecuadorian province of Del Oro.
The Arriba variety is renowned for its floral aromas, delicate fruity touches and natural richness. Hand-picked when fully ripe, the beans come exclusively from Ecuadorian farms committed to sustainable, chemical-free agriculture.
Swiss craftsmanship: precision and excellence
Once the beans have been harvested and prepared locally, they are sent to Switzerland, where they are processed according to a controlled artisan process:
-
Gentle roasting to preserve aromas
-
Slow ripening to develop texture and finesse
-
Precise tempering to guarantee chocolate brilliance and stability
This Swiss know-how ensures a consistent, traceable, top-of-the-range end result, perfectly suited to the requirements of artisan chocolatiers.
Cocoa respected at every stage
Del Oro beans undergo a strict on-site treatment process:
-
Fermented in wood for 4 to 6 days

This post-harvest treatment is essential to stabilize taste and guarantee the consistency of the final product.
