The volcanic soils and equatorial climate of São Tomé have produced something truly exceptional in the form of the Rustic Experience São Tomé 70% chocolate, which brings together the island's legendary chocolate heritage and contemporary craftsmanship. Once known as the 'Chocolate Islands', this African archipelago pioneered cocoa cultivation on the continent, and our Signature Collection pays homage to this remarkable legacy through our meticulous bean-to-bar process. Each bar tells the story of carefully selected beans that are gently roasted to honour the terroir's natural character while developing the chocolate's distinctive buttery cocoa base and warm coffee undertones. The tasting experience unfolds with sophisticated elegance, beginning with sweet, welcoming notes that gradually reveal layers of complexity. The 70% cocoa content provides structure and depth, allowing the buttery richness to emerge alongside the characteristic coffee nuances that define São Tomé cocoa. The finish is both satisfying and clean, leaving a lasting impression of the island's unique terroir while maintaining the perfect balance between sweetness and gentle bitterness. This versatile couverture is ideal for professional use, excelling in moulding, enrobing and creating refined ganaches and mousses. Its balanced profile creates beautiful harmonies with moderately acidic fruits and aromatic spices whilst complementing slightly bitter ingredients such as walnuts with remarkable finesse. Crafted with respect for tradition and sustainability, Rustic São Tomé 70% consistently delivers excellence, honouring centuries of chocolate-making heritage while meeting the demands of today's discerning professionals.
