Foodin Raw Chocolate Strawberry 53%, organic 40 g

Taste and texture

Strawberry raw chocolate is a velvety soft raw chocolate. One chocolate bar contains almost 10 % freeze-dried strawberry powder, which corresponds to more than a decilitre of fresh organic strawberries. Belonging to our lightest chocolate bars, strawberry chocolate is one of our most popular raw chocolate flavours. And no wonder, since one small raw chocolate bar holds so much that is good and delicious.

Origin of ingredients

Foodin’s raw chocolates are the result of long-standing passion and responsible development. Our founder Lasse Jalkanen is known for his great love of raw chocolate, which is why chocolates are a particularly important product group for us at Foodin. The chocolate is made from cocoa beans of the native Criollo variety, cultivated as a way of life by hundreds of families in the Peruvian Amazon, in the heart of the rainforest. Our raw chocolate gets its sweetness from Indonesian coconut sugar, dubbed the world’s most sustainable sweetener.

Finnish craftsmanship

Foodin’s strawberry raw chocolate is handcrafted in Finland at our factory in Vaajakoski. The raw chocolate is made using the traditional stone ground method, in which giant millstones grind the ingredients into chocolate mass for two to three days. The low temperature of the production process, below 42 degrees, ensures that the properties of the cocoa bean are preserved all the way to the finished product. The gentle stone mill treatment also affects the texture and softness of the chocolate.

Production process

Once the chocolate mass is ready, both of our stone ground masters, Sanna and Malla, carry out a strict assessment of its taste and texture. It is important to make sure that the mass is even and silky soft and that the flavour is just right. After this, the mass is tempered, i.e. heat-treated. Tempering ensures the chocolate’s glossy and beautiful shade. Dark chocolate requires a slightly higher tempering temperature than light chocolate. The tempered chocolate mass is shaped into chocolate bars using ready-made moulds. The finished bars are then run on a vibrating table, which removes air bubbles and smooths the surface beautifully. The chocolate bars are cooled in the fridge.
