Ingredients

whole cocoa bean, sugar, cocoa butter, plum powder, salt

60 gram bar - Austin, Texas

The bar opens with an aroma of dried fruit and sea breeze, hinting at the salted plum within. On the palate, tangy umeboshi collides with bittersweet cacao, creating waves of savory, tart, and fruity flavors all at once. The result is compelling—a chocolate that defies expectation while rewarding curiosity.

Salted plum, or umeboshi, is a unique addition in confections and pastries. Reborn in chocolate, it becomes an emblem of KESSHŌ’s willingness to take risks and transform traditions. This bar is not only about taste but about the brand’s philosophy: to crystallize bold ideas into something unforgettable.

Cacao Origin: Semuliki Forest, Uganda
Additions: Salted plum powder (umeboshi)
Awards Include: Bronze - 2023 Academy of Chocolate, Silver - 2024 International Chocolate Awards (Americas)

I find myself usually un-subscribing to most company e-mails but I always find something interesting and appealing with the ChefShop nice layout, interesting visuals & most importantly is the obvious creativity that goes into each feature, thanks for caring. -William

Deep chocolate experience: This cocoa takes anything chocolate to a whole new level. The depth and smoothness is beyond any brand I have used, and I have used many. Intense chocolate experience, but not bitter or harsh. Be prepared to be asked for repeat performances! -Seth

For the breadth and quality of its offerings, nothing equals ChefShop.com. In addition to well-chosen examples of an Italian kitchen's staples...there are excellent products from other parts of the world and, in season, fresh salmon from the Northwest, plus an item that has all but disappeared from neighborhood markets, genuinely tree-ripened, sugary fruits." -Marcella & Victor Hazan

We at ChefShop are committed to finding and offering the best rare ingredients in the world. Our small batch products are made by personally selected local and international artisans, dedicated to preserving and sometimes reinventing food traditions!

I love receiving these emails! So thoughtfully crafted and filled with advice and tips. Thanks so much for taking the time to write them up. -Diane

Best Cocoa Ever If you care about using the best cocoa on the face of the planet, buy this. -Angela

Thank you so very much! I really appreciate it. Also your shop is awesome and it’s always a joy getting packages from y’all in the mail. -Peter

Our favourite cocoa I have 8 varieties of cocoa at home -- red cocoa, black cocoa, natural cocoa, and several high-end specialty cocoas (Barry Extra Brut, Valrhona, Guittard, Ghirardelli...). My family goes through enormous quantities of cocoa powder -- for hot cocoa, brownies, chocolate cakes, cookies... and this is by far our favourite. It has depth, complexity, and richness. While the specialty cocoas are excellent, I find they can sometimes be quite bitter, lack richness or body. This one is always perfect for whatever we are making. And being in Canada, I go to great lengths to buy this cocoa -- that should tell you how much we love it! - Monika
