Scherffen Berger Jamaica ā l'ancienne Bar

scharffenberger.jpgWell, it seems that the people at Scharffen Berger are at it again, making wonderful new products that I terribly want to try. Actually it isn't a new product, but the return of a limited edition bar they produced three years ago, the Jamaica ā l'ancienne bar. By the sound of it this is really a unique work of art. It is made from - you guessed it - Jamaican beans which are ground with coarse sugar and, strangely enough, never conched. Because of it's unusual texture they have to hand-temper it. It's a very unusual bar and one I'm eager to try. Rather than search around trying to find the bars locally (unlikely) I'm placing an order to get this and the Kumasi Sambirano bar they released last month. The write-up for the bar is quite nice and worth the read so take a look.

I just toured Scharffen Berger last week, and I had to get this bar, which has turned out to be quite quite lovely. I am not wild about the Kumasi Sambirano(the Ghana beans overpower almost everything I love about the Madagascar bean), but the Jamaican beans are showcased just fantastically in the Jamaica ā l'ancienne. I also thought the texture would be distracting to me, but I really love it. I am going back to the factory next weekend to pick up a couple more. :)
