Friis-Holm Medaglia 70% Single Bean Chocolate

MEDAGLA 70% SINGLE BEAN

This dark chocolate bar, awarded at several editions of the International and European Chocolate Awards, was created by Friis Holm in Denmark using cocoa beans from a single variety, from Nicaragua.

The name of this bar comes from the cocoa variety from which it was made: Medagla, a rare variety with yellow fruits in the shape of a "medal", with beans that stand out for their intense and spicy taste with notes of molasses and ripe fruit.

Medagla dark chocolate has a harmonious cocoa taste with notes of strawberries, sweetness, as well as notes of spicy dried fruit. Its creamy texture is a distinctive feature of Friis Holm chocolates.

Content: roasted Medaglia cocoa beans from Nicaragua, cocoa butter and sugar.

Friis-Holm chocolates are the result of a simple set of values, applied in a complex production. This is how sophisticated and new chocolate experiences are created for the quality-conscious consumer

Chocolate production is a multi-stage process. This allows them to experiment with quality to the maximum. They simply push the boundaries of how far the development of the unique flavors of the beans themselves can take them.

In dark chocolate, only sugar is added. No soy lecithin, no vanilla - nothing that would interfere with and affect the innate taste of cocoa. This approach is unusual. The typical chocolate industry does this to increase volume, reduce costs, or target uncritical taste buds. Instead, they focus on uncompromising craftsmanship. At the same time, they are pushing the world of chocolate production in a direction where craftsmanship, transparency and culinary value are the main criteria.

Storage conditions

About the producer

“Best in the world and best for the world” is the motto that master chocolatier Mikkel Friis-Holm has guided his work by since the beginning.
His creations are recognized each year at prestigious competitions such as the International and European Chocolate Awards where Mikkel has won gold medals in the Best Chocolate Maker and Direct Trade categories.

The Danish artisanal chocolate brand FRIIS-HOLM is an iconic name among bean-to-bar chocolate producers. Mikkel Friis-Holm is a consummate craftsman, and the chocolate he creates is the very definition of the bean-to-bar concept. Mikkel Friis-Holm's passion for chocolate led him over twenty years ago to Central America, where he dedicated himself to a project that aimed to identify and study the DNA of different cocoa varieties from Nicaragua. And today, genetic information about cocoa varieties, as well as traceability, are of major importance to Friis-Holm, who is one of the few chocolatiers in the world who creates single-bean chocolate bars.
