Bonnat Chocolate – Selva Maya 75%

The Bonnat Chocolate Selva Maya is an award-winning chocolate with a 75% cocoa content. The 100g chocolate bar is produced by Chocolat Bonnat, located in Voiron, France, since 1884. The dark chocolate is neither too thick nor too thin and has a crisp bite.

This single-origin chocolate from Mexico won gold at the World Chocolate Award 2016, thus being named the best chocolate in the world. This was the third time a Bonnat chocolate had been recognized as the best chocolate in the world (Selva Maya 2016 (Gold), Morentia 2017 (Bronze), El Castillero and Cacao Real del Xoconuzco 2019 (Silver)). A true honor!

The Selva Maya dark chocolate is made from the rare Porcelana cocoa variety. This bean gets its name from its white color, reminiscent of porcelain. With a harvest quantity of barely 1000kg, Selva Maya is a true rarity. Its beans come from a rainforest region that stretches across Guatemala, Belize, and Mexico. This unique landscape with its great diversity of flora and fauna has been declared a UNESCO biosphere reserve and is thus considered highly worthy of protection. The sustainable cultivation of cocoa, promoted by Stephane Bonnat, provides a good income for local cocoa farmers and contributes to the development of an entire region.

The Selva Maya single-origin chocolate from Bonnat is very complex in its aroma, yet truly balanced between fruity notes and cocoa intensity. Its wonderful melt and long finish make it something very special.

In addition to the classic Grand Cru bars, Stéphane Bonnat is constantly developing new Grand Crus d'Exception from more narrowly defined growing regions, such as Los Colorados, Maragnan, Cocoa Cusco, Morenita, Haiti, Cuba, Selva Maya, and Madre Dios. These not only attract attention with their colorful wrapping paper but undoubtedly also with their special aroma.
