OUR FINE FLAVOUR COCOA

At Luker, we pride ourselves of being true experts in cocoa production. All our cocoa is recognized with the coveted Fino De Aroma Classification with flavour profiles matched by only 8% of the worlds’ cocoa growers. With each region producing enticingly unique flavour notes this is single origin cocoa at its finest. The unique flavour profile begins with the seed which is nurtured by the climate, the composition of the soil, the region it’s grown in and how the farmer works the land and his crop. It continues with the love and care put into the drying, roasting and conching process of the beans which our R&D experts have perfected over the years. No corners are cut, no expense is spared, quality is the name of the game.

Fruity, nutty and rich with the perfect hint of acidity and a luxurious melt. Every step of production from bean to bar is lovingly cared for, expertly crafted and carried out with the farmers, their communities and the environment in mind, adding tangible value at origin.
