Artisan Chocolate Maker Kaitxo: Indulge in Premium, Handcrafted Chocolate Delights
Let's Talk Chocolate and Coffee:
Who doesn't love a good chunk of chocolate? It's the ultimate sweet indulgence for many. But when it comes to snacking on the good stuff, we often don't discriminate between premium and mass-produced options.
That's where I want to direct your attention to Kaitxo, a family-run business that offers the best of two worlds - chocolate and coffee! They're the real deal when it comes to artisanal goodness.
Delectable Chocolate
These folks are genuine makers of delicious chocolate from bean to bar. There's no middleman here. They choose only the finest cocoa beans, sourced directly from high-quality origins, to create their unique, award-winning Bean-to-Bar chocolate. These chocolates come with distinctive aromas and flavors, thanks to the specific characteristics of the cocoa beans they select.
I recently attended one of their online chocolate tastings, and let me tell you, it was an eye-opener. Just as with fine wine, an artisan chocolate can offer a plethora of layers of flavors that can be a true taste adventure. It's fascinating to learn about the different chocolate-growing regions, the impact of drying and production methods on flavors, and more. If you're ever traveling in the Basque Country, be sure to drop by for a tasting.
Kaitxo is based in Las Enkartaciones in Spain's Basque Country. They've won numerous accolades, including a world gold award in Florence for their caramelized pistachio bar in the flavored white chocolate category at the International Chocolate Awards.
Bean to Bar Chocolate
Bean-to-Bar is an artisanal way of crafting chocolate that allows the distinct qualities of cocoas from various countries, regions, or farms to truly shine through in the final product.
Kaitxo's products are available online, and soon they'll be stocked in the UK at specialty high-end food stores like Fortnum & Mason and Harvey Nichols.
Scrumptious Coffee
Now, let's not forget about their coffee, which is produced with the same dedication to quality and attention to detail. The beans are grown at various altitudes, selectively harvested, and roasted with care. It's important to note that the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) establishes protocols to evaluate coffees, and only those that score 80 points or above out of 100 are considered specialty coffees. All of Kaitxo's coffees meet this standard and come with traceability labels as well as roast dates.
