This is chocolate, it’s only just made. We’re running a few test batches with a new cacao. This recipe has no added cocoa butter, it is 70% cacao beans and 30% sugar. All tests came out looking as thick as this! It’s like a thick icing or ganache. Just trying to get this through a sieve I need to grow a few extra muscles 💪 It doesn’t mean this cacao is bad, just that we need to design a recipe with added cocoa butter in this case, so the chocolate is a bit thinner. Most 70% bars will contain some to a lot of added cocoa butter (or other fats if you’re unlucky). The cocoa beans and the cocoa butter together make up to the total percentage that is stated on the box, typically on the front. You really don’t always need to add cocoa butter to every cacao. There are reasons for adding it and reasons for not adding it. On our Solkiki dark chocolate boxes we mention the amount of cacao beans and the amount of cocoa butter separately. The amount of added cocoa butter has a huge impact on the outcome and flavour of the chocolate that you taste. There is currently not much transparency on the recipe formulation of a chocolate (%cocoa beans vs %added cocoa butter), we hope to see this change in the future. The chocolate we end up making with this particular cacao will most likely contain added cocoa butter because the chocolate came out so thick as you can see. We will carefully balance the chocolate recipe with the added cocoa butter to balance out the flavours and will let you know on the box how much cocoa butter has been added to this chocolate. So, when you come to taste this extra bit of information will help you with your tasting. #solkiki #chocolatemaker #noaddedfat #noaddedfats #noaddedcocoabutter #70% #seventypercent #creatingrecipes #chocolaterecipes #chocolaterecipe #makingchocolate #veganchocolatemaker #darkchocolate #chocolaterecipe #beantobar #beantobaruk #choctober #salondechocolatparis #salondechocolat #chocolate #chocolatefactory #veganchocolate #veganchocolaterecipe #veganhalloween #vegangift #recipeshare #chocolaterecipeshare #veganfood #sweettooth #darkchocolatelover #darkchocolateinfo https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj5EHffDAUW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

New release! This is Cashew milk chocolate (vegan of course)! 53% Costa Esmeraldas Cacao, Ecuador, softened and creamed up by grinding Cashew through the bar. This bar won a European Silver 2022 award 🏆 + an additional vegan award 🌱🏆at the @chocawards just a few months ago! This bar was a limited edition bar before that we have sent out to our special customers and we have only made it in very small batches before, so you might have missed it. Now it has earned its own box and is part of our range online at Solkiki.co.uk 👉shop 👉milk chocolate. If you’re a fan of milk chocolate also look out for the limited edition of this bar with the addition of roasted Piedmont hazelnut, it’s very easy to eat this bar in one sitting, so be forewarned! 😂😋🍫 #solkiki #solkikinewrelease #beantobar #veganbeantobar #milkchocolate #veganmilkchocolate #veganhazelnutchocolate #vegannuttychocolate #bestveganmilkchocolate #bestveganchocolate #cashewchocolate #dairyfreechocolate #dairyfree #crueltyfreechocolate #slavefreechocolate #exploitationfreechocolate #slavefreechocolate #earthfriendlychocolate #chocolateuk #dorsetchocolate #beantobaruk #craftchocolatemarket #craftchocolatemaker #veganfood #veganuk #vegan #veganlife #vegansofig #veganfoodshare #vegandesign #vegandesigns https://www.instagram.com/p/CjVFEa_tXT1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Most of the winners are in stock though, but they’re in Limited Edition boxes and wouldn’t be so clear on this photo. The summer is typically a time for us when we do an inventory for the upcoming chocolate year, so then we’re all set up again for September/ October. We won awards 🏆 with bars that use local ingredients, like our 67% Samphire, 49% Raspberry Anise and 60% Pomona Cider Brandy chocolate.

When #chocolatemakerBob is not making chocolate you can sometimes find him on the roof, putting back the slates that have fallen of the chocolate workshop after a storm 💨 At least the sun is shining today every now and then ☀️ And even if the roof would give, it would all be ok since he would fall into a huge tank of liquid chocolate 😋 #solkiki #chocolatefactory #chocolateworkshop #makingchocolate #chocolatebaruk #beantobar #beantobaruk #chocolatemaking #roofwork #cottageuk #oldcottages #cottageworkshop #cottagedorset #dorsetchocolate #beantobardorset #veganchocolateworkshop https://www.instagram.com/p/CSE7EVxjtxI/?utm_medium=tumblr
