11 lbs. 61% Mijao dark chocolate discos
Mijao is a smooth, well-balanced dark chocolate that is neither too acidic nor too bitter. With hints of apricot and plum, Mijao is less sweet, melts easier and has a silkier “mouthfeel” produced by the high cacao butter content.
Mijao is a general, all-purpose dark chocolate that performs well in all applications, including tempering, where intense chocolate flavor is not desired.
Use to make a sauce, chocolate drinks, ice cream. Combine with Apamate to make mousse. Chop into large pieces and use in chocolate chip cookies. Add to homemade tomato sauces, like marinara, to add flavor. Pair with Port or Sangiovese.
Made from fairly traded and ethically grown cacao beans
All El Rey chocolate is made in a ISO 9001 certified factory, meeting the highest possible standards of quality, safety, and health
El Rey chocolate is suited for a wide range of applications, including baking, enrobing, ganaches, molding, or just eating out of hand!
Since its founding in 1929, El Rey has understood that great chocolate originates on the farm. It is for this reason that we long ago committed ourselves to becoming a world class agribusiness, painstakingly monitoring the entire process from bean to bar.
We’re a family business, one of the oldest chocolate manufacturers in Venezuela, and we have built our reputation on principles of uncompromising quality, team effort, and constant technological innovation.
El Rey sources 100% of its beans from Aprocao, a democratically run famer’s coop that we founded
In addition to sourcing, El Rey maintains a strong commitment to Venezuelan farmers, in the form of;
Paying 60% above international cacao bean prices
Providing training programs for farmers
Ensuring beans are grown for maximum quality and farmer profitability
