The Pegalan River is a sensory experience. The spirit of the terroir is embodied in this bar. More than just taste, there is an interesting and unique side of this bar, the cacao trees are grown within a farm situated alongside a river where its main crops are coconut trees and the cacao trees are actually the secondary crop growing in between these tall members of the palm tree family.
You guessed it right, this river is called Sungai Pegalan, the main spine of this part of the region. The terroir, the turns and gushes of the river is an intimacy that resonates in this bar. And it is the gushing and splashes of this river that inspired the blue hues portrayed on the packaging.
The appeal and beauty of this bar is the aroma and flavour. Be rewarded with the unique combination of capsicum and dried longan preceding the sweet raising notes and slowly gives way to an overall smooth and delicious chocolate, an exclusive offering of the Pegalan River.
