The cocoa nibs from Costa Esmeralda cocoa beans are roasted and then added to an oak barrel from winemaker J-L Groux from Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON. The barrel has residual yeast and grape skins (called “lees”) from the icewine making process. The nibs are left in there for 3 months, from which they are then ground up to make chocolate.
