Understanding Terroir at Maison Cacao

Terroir represents the influence of environmental factors such as soil composition, climate, and geography on the flavor and characteristics of ingredients. At Maison Cacao, skilled artisans deeply understand the land's history and culture, merging their expertise to enhance the essence of each component.

Colombia's mountainous terrain, including the Andes, supplies mineral-rich water essential for cacao cultivation. This region’s fertile land supports an array of unique and vibrant flavor profiles in cacao beans, which Maison Cacao adeptly cultivates with care.

The Art of Blending at Maison Cacao

Maison Cacao meticulously adjusts the proportions of cacao mass, cacao butter, milk, and sugar to 0.1% precision. The colorful and distinct cacao liquors from chosen origins are combined, leading to endless possibilities in taste and aroma. The process involves significant craftsmanship, resulting in a one-of-a-kind couverture chocolate that can't be replicated elsewhere.

The "生ガトーショコラテロワールコレクション No.6" will be available at six selected Maison Cacao locations starting June 1st, with only 800 pieces for sale, each numbered for exclusivity. Once they are sold out, they will no longer be available.
