Callebaut Zestina Experience Dominican Republic 70% is a Single Origin dark chocolate with 70% minimum cocoa solids, crafted from Forastero cocoa beans originating from the Dominican Republic. Cocoa from the island of Hispaniola is distinguished by its specific terroir, which gives the chocolate a characteristic and complex flavour profile.

Its flavour develops with intense roasted cocoa notes, followed by elegant nuances of dried and red fruits, including raspberry. Sweet, sour and bitter notes are carefully balanced, leading to a smooth and pleasantly sweet finish with lingering roasted cocoa notes.

With its pronounced cocoa character, high fluidity and aromatic complexity, Zestina Experience Dominican Republic 70% is designed for professional use in pastry and chocolate applications.
