A milk chocolate made bean to bar by Krak with cocoa from one place: the Sierra Nevada, the mountain range that rises behind Colombia's Caribbean coast. The beans come from around ten farming families in the Magdalena department and are fermented and dried at Cacao de Colombia's centre in Macondo. Milk chocolate is the softer, creamier side of the shelf, but because Krak roasts the beans itself the origin still comes through. An 80 g bar.
Details
Krak Chocolate makes this milk chocolate with cocoa from the Sierra Nevada in the north of Colombia. It is bean to bar: Mark Schimmel, who is Krak, picks the beans by origin and harvest year and then roasts and refines them himself in the Netherlands. Most chocolate on the shelf starts life as ready-melted factory couverture, and the difference is one you can taste.
The Sierra Nevada
The Sierra Nevada is the range that stands behind the beaches of Colombia's Caribbean coast, climbing to around 5,700 metres - 18,700 feet - within sight of the sea. The cocoa for this bar is grown in the Magdalena department by about ten farming families, who run their own pollination experiments to lift both quality and yield. The post-harvest work is done at the modern fermentation and drying centre Cacao de Colombia built in Macondo, a community further down the mountain, and Cacao de Colombia gives the growers technical support and a steady buyer for what they grow. Fermentation and drying settle much of how a cocoa bean ends up tasting, so having that step done properly close to the farms matters.
Milk chocolate, but not a bland one
Milk chocolate is softer and creamier than a dark bar, and that is what this is. Where it parts company with most is that the cocoa behind it comes from one place and has been handled with some care, so the origin is still there instead of being buried under milk and sugar. The bar contains milk, so it is not suitable for a vegan diet; check the packaging if you have an allergy.

Krak Chocolate is the venture of bean-to-bar chocolate maker Mark Schimmel. While most chocolatiers and confectioners use melted factory chocolate, Mark oversees the entire process himself.
By selecting cocoa beans from specific harvest years and origins, roasting and rolling the chocolate, he crafts unique flavours you won't find in shop-bought chocolate bars.
