CollaBARation # 1 with Lakritsafabriken 

Region: Davao, Philippines

Lead Farmer: Peter Cruz

Varietal: Trinitario

Ingredients: This single origin dark milk chocolate includes directly sourced cocoa beans from the region of Davao, Philippines at 62% along with certified organic cane sugar, goat’s milk powder, and a touch of Fleur de Sel Sea Salt. Next we add pieces of salted black licorice to the back of the bar that is hand-crafted by our friends at Lakritsfabriken in Ramlösa, Sweden. Lakritsfabriken makes their licorice with rice flour, not wheat, making it gluten free. We also add anise seed to balance the myriad of flavors and create an unbelievable texture. 

Flavor: caramel notes, soft thrill of the goat’s milk met with subtle salt, anise sweetness, and clear, but rich, licorice character. Ultra silky, with a soft chew and pleasant crunch.

About the CollaBARation: We partnered with our friend, (and Scandinavian distributor), Martin Jörgensen, and his licorice factory, Lakritsfabriken on this bar. Made with rice flour, Lakritsfabriken's premium licorice is gluten free. The licorice is made in Martin’s small factory located in Ramlösa. Learn more about Martin and his licorice here.
