Odyssey Chocolate

80% Vietnamese Lam Dong

After working with every Vietnamese cacao origin available in the 2022 harvest, we decided that the Lam Dong region was making the most complex, elegant and creamy origin of the harvest year. It reminds me of the 2017 harvest of Ben Tre that we won one of our first two Academy of Chocolate awards for....except I think it's even better!

It has notes of cinnamon, chocolate covered raisins, and other dark and hearty baking spices. This is a truly unique origin. There's nothing even remotely like it outside of Vietnam.
