10 BEAN-TO-BAR CHOCOLATE
An exciting trend in the market is the focus on bean-to-bar chocolate, which involves the use of single origin chocolate from a single plantation.
Philippe Agnese from Atlantis the Palm clarifies, “Chocolate connoisseurs believe that chocolate varies in taste depending on where it is grown and when chocolate is made from many cocoa beans, the unique taste is difficult to recognise. Therefore, a focus on single origin chocolate concentrates on the best features of chocolate to achieve the best possible taste and aroma.”
Sayed Alam from Rosewood Jeddah adds, “People are more concerned about the quality of chocolate and some know their cocoa really well. This trend of choosing fair trade, organic and pure chocolate seems to be catching up.”
