Bean to Bar
Kamothe · Navi Mumbai
Cabosse
Fine flavour cacao. Three ingredients. Nothing else.
01 The Pod
Every bar begins
as a pod.
cabosse n. — French, from the Old French caboce: the fruit of Theobroma cacao, cut from the trunk by hand, split, and left to ferment.
We took the name because it is the part nobody sees. By the time chocolate reaches you the pod has been opened, the beans fermented, dried, roasted, cracked and winnowed. The pod is where the flavour is decided. Everything after it is care.
In 1753 Linnaeus had to give the tree a name, and he did not choose a modest one. He called it Theobroma. Food of the gods.
02 The Craft
From bean to bar,
under one roof.
Nothing is outsourced. Beans arrive in jute and leave our Kamothe workshop wrapped by hand.
-
Sorting
Every bean is looked at. Most of the craft is deciding what not to keep.
-
Roasting
Heat is a question asked slowly. Ask it too loudly and the answer is only brown.
-
Winnowing
The husk lets go. What stays is the part that was always going to be chocolate.
-
Conching
Turned, and turned, until grit forgets that it was ever grit.
-
Tempering
Cooled, coaxed, cooled again. The snap is the sound of patience.
03 The Bar
60% Dark.
Three ingredients, in the proportions printed on the wrapper. Nothing added to make it cheaper, smoother, or last longer.

What 60% dark means
The number on the front is not a score. It is the share of the bar that comes from the cacao pod: the beans themselves, plus the cocoa butter pressed from them. Everything else is cane sugar.

Made in a facility that handles no allergens, so the bar is suitable for highly sensitive consumers. Best before three months from manufacture — there is nothing in it to make that date any longer.
04 The Place
Made in India.
India grows cacao and exports most of it as a commodity. Cabosse exists to keep some of it here and to make something worth putting a name on.
Everything is made in one room, by hand, in small batches. Visits by appointment.
