Bold and warm, freshly harvested from the bark of locally grown trees, Jamaican cinnamon has been added to this dark chocolate bar.
“We likkle but we tallawah” (we may be small in size but we are bold in character) is the Jamaican proverb adopted by Pure Chocolate. And that seems to be embodied in this bar.
And therefore it won bronze at the Academy of Chocolate.

Cocoa from Dennis Bodie
The cocoa used by PURE Chocolate is supplied by Dennis Bodie. A farmer in a hamlet in the middle of the John Crow Mountains called Tom’s Hope (in Fellowship in the parish of Portland). To find Bodie’s farm, you really need the help of the locals. There are no street names, no house numbers, nor does the farm have a name. Dennis Bodie owns the farm. It is his pride and joy; he has pledged his heart and soul to his farm, does not go on holiday but, he says, enjoys the sound of the stream and nature around him every day.

His cocoa is a cross between Criollo and Trinitario, fermented and dried by hand. In chocolate making, what happens at harvest and after is crucial. Thanks to the special process, the extraordinary cocoa taste of the original cocoa beans is preserved as best as possible.
