Here we add pieces of Dutch stroopwafel, vegan of course, to our newest dark milk.  Stroopwafels, if you don't know, 2 soft chewy waffels are baked with a layer of thick luscious caramel in the sandwich.  Lightly spiced with cinnamon and hint of vanilla.  The flavour transfer throughout the entire melt.
 
Our newest dark milk, the Malagos 60 has note of caramel, toffee, chocolate and festive spice.  Stoneground with a pinch of pink salt that rounds out and balances the profile.  A bar with an easygoing nature!
 
This origin has been a long-time coming, with conversations pre-covid in 2019, just a few months before the HCP status for this cacao was announced.  We're finally very pleased to unveil the first look at this new origin!
 
Expect a slow melt and a balanced comforting chocolatey base with loads going on.  
No bitterness, no astringency, no quinine.
