Chuao 73%

Cacao en Broma, based in Mexico, operates as a tree-to-bar manufacturer dedicated to capturing the singular essence of fine cacao. Their Chuao 73% bar represents a deep dive into one of the most storied regions in the world of chocolate. By managing the process from the source, they ensure that the genetic profile of the Venezuelan beans remains the protagonist of the tasting experience.

The sensory profile of this bar is defined by the meticulous handling of its ingredients. The cacao beans undergo a traditional fermentation process of six to seven days in wooden boxes, followed by careful sun-drying on patios. This attention to detail results in a clean, sophisticated profile that shuns additives. With a composition of only origin cacao, cocoa butter, and cane sugar, the bar contains no soy lecithin, PGPR, vanillin, or vegetable fats, allowing the natural character of the Chuao region to shine through with absolute clarity.

The quality of this craft has been recognized on the global stage, earning Silver awards at the International Chocolate Awards in both the Americas and World categories for the 2021-22 period. This recognition reflects the commitment to honoring the unique heritage of Chuao beans, creating a bar that balances the intensity of high-cacao content with the nuanced complexity sought by enthusiasts worldwide.
