VI — Obsidian

Foundation

66% Dark Chocolate

Expression

The final expression.

Obsidian is the culmination of the HEX collection — an exploration of cacao in its purest form. Free from additions and distractions, it allows the character of the chocolate itself to take centre stage. Deep, structured and unapologetically focused, it represents the destination of the journey through the six expressions.
