Lucid Chocolatier – Yuzu 72%

Original price was: $16.00.Current price is: $14.00.

“72% Dark Chocolate with confit Yuzu & Freeze-dried Yuzu Juice flakes.  Cacao is Farmed by Noe Vasquez and his family in Cajamaraca, Marañon, Peru. The 2024 version of the Yuzu bar now features our multi-award-winning Marañon 72% and the addition of a very delicate inclusion – Freeze dried yuzu juice flakes. We made these decisions based on wanting to represent the yuzu fruit better as a whole, because we felt that our original bar was missing that sharp, distinctive yuzu flavour. It has taken a while to find the sweet spot with what origin to work with and how to best incorporate the yuzu without distorting the balance, but I’m glad to say we have finally done it. As always, thanks go to Neville and Junko Chun from NZYuzu for working closely with us to bring you the best Yuzu possible. They are organically grown in their beautiful orchard in Levin. Received whole and fresh for us to work with typically around May each year.”

Johnty Tatham started Lucid Chocolatier in December 2020 at the age of 23! Moving from creative arts into food science he discovered the magic of chocolate as a material in which he can express artistic messages. After researching for a year he found himself back on the family farm pre-COVID and invested in some chocolate making equipment. The name "Lucid" comes from a French word which means "to give up and dedicate yourself to something". He is aiming to create ultra specialised and micro batch chocolates at the highest end of the craft chocolate market using fine Peruvian organic cacao. He's also committed to leaving a small little environmental footprint as possible, the interior wrap is compostable and the box is recyclable (spot UV logos + foil stamping with plant-based inks). All production waste is composted for use on the Lucid orchard.Listen to this fabulous interview with Johnty and family on the NZ radio. See more
