FEWER INGREDIENTS, MORE CRUNCH

  • ORIGINAL :  Raw, radical, virtuous, transparent and straightforward: Oqo brilliantly embodies contemporary values. It’s chocolate, but as if it had been invented today.
  • WHOLE :  Oqo uses just three ingredients: single origin Madagascan whole beans, unrefined beet sugar and cocoa butter. It’s simple, it’s pure, and it’s completely without frills.
  • LIGHTLY GROUND, NOT CONCHED :  By making Oqo without recourse to conching (and grinding it coarsely instead), we are getting back to cocoa’s origins and representing it in its most elementary form. Oqo has a surprisingly crunchy mouthfeel thanks to its fine pieces of shell, nibs and sugar.

SENSORY PROFILE

MAJOR CHARACTERISTIC: Fruity
MINOR NOTE : Roasted beans
UNIQUE NOTE : Crunchy

Like the crackling sound of a fire, Oqo’s whole bean pieces take you back to cocoa’s earliest origins. It has a raw, almost mineral texture, crunchy pieces of whole beans which erupt like a shower of glittering sparks, and powerful tangy and fruity notes that give way to warm undertones of roasted beans.
