There was the Trinitario variety that was introduced through Keravat, PNG in 1951, and then the Amelonado variety in 1960 and later the amazon variety through Fiji. The crossing between these varieties make’s Solomon Islands variety a unique blend. Amelonado is a more dominant variety, which gives the reason as to why these beans have a subtle, dark, malty chocolaty taste. The reason of the unique taste is not just where its grown on fertile volcanic plateaus, or who grows it, or how it is grown, but also the time it takes with quality standards for the drying, mixing \u0026amp; fermenting process that produces aromatic smells, flavor \u0026amp; taste like no other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe beans once roasted gently \u0026amp; mixed, have the consistent, unique bitter taste with overtures of subtle malt \u0026amp; hazelnut. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Pennsylvania State University study showed: \"S\u003c\/span\u003eome f\u003cspan\u003eindings suggest that roasting c\u003c\/span\u003eould\u003cspan\u003e make beneficial ones more easily absorbed. \u003c\/span\u003eIt revealed that m\u003cspan\u003eanipulating\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ea cocoa beans\u003cspan\u003e roast temperature and\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003etime can preserve and boost its compound’s potency.\" \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Purple Peony","offers":[{"title":"150","offer_id":45995319230639,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"300","offer_id":45995319263407,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/4731\/6399\/files\/Untitled_36.png?v=1778037895","url":"https:\/\/thepurplepeonynz.com\/products\/single-origin-drinking-chocolate","provider":"The Purple Peony","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
