Hogarth Chocolate Kumara Milk Chocolate with Sweet Potato

Like Cacao, Kumara, or sweet potato, originally came from South America, travelling west across the Pacific after being traded through the islands and landing in Aotearoa (New Zealand) with Maori. In this chocolate, Hogarth has used Kumara crisps from their friends Ned and Mina at Proper Crisps. Proper make their crisps using seasonally selected varieties, mostly Red Kumara (Owairaka), Gold Kumara (Toka Toka) and Orange Kumara (Beauregard). They have paired the Kumara with their Peruvian criollo cacao which highlights the caramelization of the crisps, adding caramel and fruit notes to a deliciously smooth Kumara Milk Chocolate. Hogarth Craft Chocolate source the highest quality cacao beans from around the world to create small batches of chocolate using traditional techniques. Their small factory is located in Nelson, New Zealand where they sort, roast, crush and classify, winnow, grind and conche, age, melt, temper, mold, and wrap all by hand.
