Definite Jalao 60% Coconut & Ginger

Jalao is a typical Dominican dessert made with coconut and ginger. As is often the case with ‘traditional recipes’, different people use slightly different ingredients. In any case, it contains grated ginger and coconut (grated or as flour). Some people add honey and treacle, others vanilla and brown sugar. And sometimes a little vegetable oil. Fancy making it yourself? Have a look here.

And that jalao goes extremely well with pure Dominican cocoa. Definite certainly proves that with this bar.

The organically grown cocoa for this bar comes from Valdez Cacao. This family farm is situated in Castillo, in the province of Duarte, where over 60% of Dominican cocoa is grown. Valdez Cacao was started in 1961 by Porfirio Valdez. With every bit of money he earned, he bought additional pieces of land, slowly growing his small farm into a leading business in cocoa cultivation. Valdez is socially involved, supporting the local population; the farm offers work, provides social services, built two aquaducts, a baseball field and connected the primary school to the Internet.

Ingredients: cocoa beans (60%), cane sugar, cocoa butter, coconut sugar, coconut (solids), coconut milk, candied ginger.
