Notes of dried fruit and molasses echo both the deep flavor of the cacao and the richness of the rum, creating a bar that is layered, smooth, and gently warming rather than overtly sweet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cacao comes from Finca Elvesia in Hato Mayor, in the northeastern Dominican Republic. Established by a Swiss immigrant family in the late 19th century, the estate became one of the Caribbean’s most significant cacao plantations. Its cacao earned such a strong reputation with European chocolate makers that Swiss investors helped finance a railway connecting the farm to the port at Caño Hondo for export.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, Finca Elvesia spans more than 150 hectares of rolling agricultural land near the community of El Valle and is overseen by Ramón López, a native of El Cibao, the traditional heartland of Dominican cacao. The estate’s long cacao history and distinctive beans make a fitting foundation for a chocolate that pairs two of the Dominican Republic’s best-known flavors: fine cacao and aged rum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the fullest experience, let a piece melt slowly on the tongue. The rum emerges gradually, weaving into the chocolate’s dried-fruit and molasses notes and lingering through the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Definite Chocolate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Definite Chocolate makes small-batch craft chocolate in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, using fine-flavor organic cacao sourced directly from Dominican growers. Working closely with farmers on cacao quality, the maker focuses on single-origin and single-estate beans from different regions of the country, each with its own character. Whenever possible, Definite also uses locally grown Dominican ingredients, keeping the chocolate closely connected to its place of origin while supporting local producers and industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Organic cacao, cane sugar, rum.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Definite Chocolate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50519086399638,"sku":"1892","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/8199\/5414\/files\/Definite-Chocolate-Dominican-Rum.jpg?v=1790296927","url":"https:\/\/chefshop.com\/products\/definite-chocolate-dominican-rum-75-dark-chocolate-bar","provider":"ChefShop.Com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
