Weather is stupid. <\/em> It’s cold and windy. At least the dogs look happy–both are laying on their sides with all fours sticking straight out. Guess that means I get to pass the time with chocolate. After randomly picking a chocolate bar to review out of the big bag o’ chocolate I brought back from the NWCF, I’m excited to see which one I picked. When I talked with these chocolate makers, I got a sense of their genuine commitment to making quality products, and absolute pride in their work. Let me introduce you to KAIRI Chocolate Company<\/strong>. KAIRI Chocolate was founded in 2017 by Deosaran Jagroo and Cherie-Anne Ramlakhan, a husband and wife team who took their passion project and turned it into an award-winning business. They exclusively use cacao grown on their family’s estate, La Carlota Estate in Guaico Tamana, Trinidad. Their chocolate is made entirely on-site from blossom to bar, or as Deosaran explained, “She’s the chocolate maker, I’m the farmer.” With a focus on quality, sustainability, and preserving traditional farming methods, they also offer training and facilities to neighboring cacao farmers to improve local cacao production. In addition, they support HEAL House, a local rehab center. From what I’ve been able to find with a brief online search, KAIRI Chocolate has won 4 awards from the Academy of Chocolate.<\/strong><\/p>\n Now let me introduce you to KAIRI’s 70% chocolate bar<\/strong>. As stated, this single-estate cacao was grown, fermented, roasted, and processed on their estate in Trinidad. The cacao is Trinitario, and is grown on century-old trees.<\/p>\n Sight:<\/strong> their outer packaging has a great design–inner package includes info about Trinidad and their cacao flavor profile graph; the bar is small at 37g; clean and clear molding with a modern design; dark brown with shiny surface Summary: I enjoyed this bar very much and wished it was bigger so I could enjoy even more of it. Its floral-y and fruit-y notes deliciously blend with the citrus and are complimented by the mild bitterness. Knowing how tasty this bar is, I can’t wait to re-introduce myself to their Chai Spice bar…<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Weather is stupid. It’s cold and windy.
