Chocolate Michel Cluizel Arcango Grand Noir 85%

The rich colour of the chocolate suggests the intensity of the flavour. Arcango is prepared from a selected blend of cocoa beans. The woody and spicy notes that the beans from Africa give the chocolate are complemented by notes of fruit (e.g. grapefruit) and flowers thanks to the beans from Central America. In the aftertaste, there is a bitterness of cocoa and notes of roasted coffee.

Michel Cluizel has created a new edition in 2021 with lots of new recipes. He puts emphasis on every step of chocolate production.
