This hybrid white chocolate bar contains real bread pieces from a freshly baked brown loaf made in Pump Street's very own bakery! Blended with sweet toffee-ish white chocolate made with Samuel von Rutte's Ecuadorian cocoa beans from Hacienda Limon, it's an interesting match made in heaven!
Why we love it
The Guayas Basin, where the Hacienda Limon Farm is located, is one of the most fertile areas along the Pacific coast. The climate is equatorial, there is an abundance of water resources and volcanic soils, rich in minerals and organic matter, making for the perfect cocoa growing conditions.
The 110-hectare farm is managed by eight local workers. It distinguishes itself from other cocoa farms in Ecuador for the old original pure Cacao Nacional Arriba variety grown there. The farm has been awarded Heirloom Cacao Preservation status. This status ensures the protection and preservation of this fine flavour cacao variety, endangered cacao trees, and the livelihoods and empowerment of the farmers and farming community.
The farm focuses on regenerative and organic farming. The trees at Hacienda Limon are unique in that Samuel von Rutte sourced the genetic stock from the Rockefeller Foundations Genback dating back to the 1950s. Upon harvest, the beans are pre-dried before fermentation which significantly affects the process and reduces both the acidity and the bitterness. The resulting beans are rich in caramel and nutty flavour.
Pump Street Chocolate is clear about the importance of supporting the cocoa farmers it works with. By sourcing the best beans grown with minimal intervention, and through a transparent, ethical, and sustainable supply chain and direct trade, it is able to pay prices far greater than fair trade direct to its growers. Farmers are able to take home a fair wage and give the same to their team members, and to maintain their land and trees in environmentally responsible ways.
