I need a supplier of couverture sweetened with coconut sugar instead of pure cane for a particular customer of mine. Initial requirements are low - @ 20 kg for the initial order, but potentially could grow to the 1000 kg/month range. Does anyone have a lead on a source? Please email me at troy@lajoliesse.com or post in reply.
Thank you,
Troy Lapsys.
Good luck on this, my quick research into this shows only one company - Real Food Source in the UK - offering something like this. I doubt they are making it themselves, though, so the challenge would be to find out who's making it for them. Also, the prices are in pounds - that's 50% higher than USD$ prices right off the bat.
I saw that myself, and two outfits in Australia. Price on the chocolate is not surprising (coconut sugar is expensive), but the shipping would kill me.
We make bars with it here in Panama, why dont you do it yourself? What is your price point? What percent sugar, cacao, butter ect are you after.
Bocas del toro, an island near the North border with Costa Rica. My girlfriend's late boyfriend bought some property and discovered it had 10,000 old cacao trees on it so they bought it back to life, I guess it has been organic for a really long time. We mostly use those beans or a neighbors who works on the farm so we know the fermentation is ok. We have an organic coop and sometimes broker their beans. I have been doing the coconut sugar bars for a health food store in Panama city, at first The taste was strange but as the bar ages it mellows. Just not use to the taste of that sugar, It may be the new thing.
I have 1 kilo and 2 kilo blocks of 70% Organic Costa Rican Southern zone couverture made with coconut nectar sugar. www.samaritanxocolata.com I can give you a wholesale price if you buy more than 2 kilos...contact me direct: samaritanxocolata@gmail.com

The headline says it all: United Cacao: the sad tale of when things really go wrong for Aim investors .
Two changes we made with the chocolate is that this time we winnowed the chocolate. This time we didn't use a blow dryer to melt the chocolate. Two improvements with the chocolate is that the melanger didn't get clogged this time and everyone put in work.
