Introducing PRIDI Cacaofevier
[PRODUCT OF THAILAND]
PRIDI Cacaofevier is the brainchild of chefs Daniel Bucher, Michael Hogan, and Itthi Nitayaporn. Their mission was to find an alternative to importing European chocolate that didn’t sacrifice quality. After several years of hard work, they created a Bangkok-based chocolate factory that exclusively uses Thai cacao to produce 100% handmade chocolate creations.
Thai cacao, also known as Theobroma cacao, is a unique and flavorful variety of chocolate that has been grown in Thailand for centuries, typically in small family farms. Unlike other cacao beans, Thai cacao is known for its fruity and floral flavour notes, which are a result of the unique terroir of the region. In recent years, Thai cacao has gained popularity among artisanal chocolate makers, like PRIDI, for its unique flavour profile and the opportunity to support local farmers and communities. From bean-to-bar chocolate makers to craft chocolate shops, Thai cacao is quickly becoming a sought-after ingredient in the world of fine chocolate, so we’re extra excited that it’s made the trip down under!
PRIDI’s focus is on rich, indulgent dark chocolate. Their products are not only vegan, but also made with coconut milk powder and gluten-free ingredients. With a mission to be allergen-free, PRIDI ensures that everyone can savour their delicious creations without worry.
PRIDI seeks to foster partnerships with local organizations to create unique chocolate blocks. Their Kinky Coconut block, for instance, is made using sustainably sourced coconuts from BO.LAN Grocer, a Bangkok-based organization dedicated to promoting sustainability. Meanwhile, the delicious Black Magic block is the result of a strong partnership with Karo Coffee Roasters, who provided freshly roasted coffee beans that were ground directly into the chocolate to create a truly irresistible treat.
The name ‘Cacaofevier’ originates from the French words ‘cacao’ and ‘feves’ (meaning ‘beans’), underscoring PRIDI’s commitment to being true bean-to-bar makers. Dip a foot into the world of Thai cacao and taste some today!
