The volcanic soils and distinctive climate surrounding Lake Malawi have produced something truly remarkable: Zestina Experience Tanzania. This single-origin chocolate encapsulates the spirit of one of Tanzania's most renowned cocoa regions, where age-old cultivation methods converge with meticulous craftsmanship. Each bar tells the story of its terroir through a symphony of flavours that evolve beautifully on the palate. The tasting journey begins with a clear roasted cocoa character and a sweet-bitter edge that sets the tone. As the profile unfolds, layers of yellow fruits and dried fruits emerge, adding brightness and texture to the chocolate’s core. The second half of the tasting reveals an elegant evolution: dried fruits deepen, a gentle sourness adds contrast, and the roasted cocoa lingers in harmony. The finish is long and satisfying, marked by lingering dried fruit notes, a touch of roasted cocoa, and a clean sweet-bitter balance. Zestina Tanzania 75% offers exceptional versatility, whether you're creating intricate moulded pieces, smooth coatings, or incorporating it into pastry work, without compromising its distinctive character. This chocolate rewards both the artisan and the connoisseur by delivering consistent quality and an expressive flavour that transforms every application into something extraordinary.
