It’s time for a change for the “Léopard 70 %” Crunchy Maple.
From now on, Barbon will be using cacao beans from only one single origin – Honduras.
In fact, in all transparency, the supply of the cacao beans from Ecuador has been limited, and it has been challenging to make the product available on a regular basis. This is the reason why the decision to shift to Honduras was made.
Unfortunately, because of this change, the Léopard bars will no longer display the medal that was won with the Ecuador beans at the International Chocolate Awards in 2019, but rest assured that the high quality of the product will not be affected.
