Hint of Cocoa Nibs
Tulakalum, a Single Origin* Grand Cru from Belize with fruity and tangy notes, and its *cocoa beans are sourced from Cayo District.
At first, the sharp tartness blends with the sweetness of the spices. Bitter, with only a hint of sweetness, Tulakalum surprises with sumptuous ripe fruit notes.
Tulakalum means “together” in Mayan dialect, and it was only thanks to collaborative efforts between our partner-producer Maya Mountain and our sourcing team that we were able to relaunch this exceptionally rare Belizean cocoa variety.
Our flavor experts got to work so that you could enjoy this chocolate just as nature intended it. Because this was our aim, Tulakalum has a cocoa content of 75% and does not contain any soya lecithin. Its high fat content comes from its cocoa and offers an ideal texture for all kinds of pastry-making and chocolatier’s applications, including coating.
Our desire is to offer you the best of Belizean cocoa in a chocolate with a high cocoa content and a unique sensory profile.
