Description
Ceremonial Cacao Java Nusantara 250 g - Chocante
Java Nusantara is a full-fat cocoa paste made from the noble Fine Flavor variety from East Java — one of the few Indonesian varieties originating from a Trinitario and Criollo cross, developed in the early 20th century.
Production is managed by the state-owned company PTPN XII, which operates 80,000 hectares of plantations, 15,000 hectares of which are dedicated to cocoa cultivation. The company supports local communities and implements an agrotourism model.
- Variety: Trinitario
- Taste: Sweet

Java Nusantara beans are characterized by a high proportion of light breaks (light breaking) — at purchase, they achieve 40% to 80% light beans, which is an indicator of high fermentation quality. The main harvest is in June–July, with supplementary harvests in December–January.
Flavor Profile
The flavor profile is very delicate and elegant. Dominant notes of caramel, panela, and fresh nuts are complemented by white raisins and dried and fresh fruits — yellow and dark. In the background, a subtle florality and velvety texture with a mild, velour astringency are perceptible. Bitterness and acidity are low, the finish is long and caramel-nutty.
The paste melts softly in the mouth, creating a clean, homogeneous emulsion. This is one of the most subtle and refined cocoas from Indonesia, ideally suited for bean-to-bar recipes in the 70–85% cocoa range.
