Belcolade launches new "collection" range of single origin chocolate
From the cocoa plantations of Costa Rica, Ecuador, Papua New Guinea, Peru and Venezuela, Belcolade’s new “Collection” range will help bakers, chocolatiers and pastry chefs alike capitalise on the rising demand for Single-origin Chocolate.
Belcolade has selected the finest, most distinctive cocoa varieties that best reflect the flavour profile of each region, allowing customers to create truly authentic taste associations in their products. There are four dark and two milk chocolates in the range, each of which offers a clearly defined flavour that chocophiles everywhere will love.
The growing demand for Single-origin Chocolate reflects how consumers have developed a taste for, and perceive best quality in, foods of provenance. Consumers value terroir - how a region's botanical, geological and climatic forces shape the taste of foods - and authenticity. So, just as they might recognise and prefer the taste of pure Costa Rican coffee over something mass produced, the same applies to their chocolate.
Belcolade believes that this represents a real opportunity for customers looking to add value to their products. Single-origin Chocolate offers a distinctive, pure taste; it's the chocolate lover's equivalent of a single malt whisky, and something we believe they're prepared to pay a premium for.
