Letterpress Bachelor’s Hall, Jamaica 100%

Back in 2014, David Menkes became obsessed with Desmond Jadusingh’s Bachelor’s Hall cacao after tasting what David considered the best chocolate he’d ever had in his life. David decided to wait until he was “good enough” to work with this extremely delicate and nuanced cacao.

Five years later, David finally got his wish – cacao from Desmond in Jamaica was air-freighted and he began carefully working with it. It’s hard to overstate the incredible emotions that come along with this bar. Paying over four times the commodity price for the cacao, this chocolate is the realization of a dream.
