A multi-award winning 70% dark chocolate from Cacaosuyo, showcasing the rare Chuncho cacao variety from the Cuzco region of Peru.
By focusing on the unique biodiversity of the Andes, they bring a distinct sense of place to every bar they produce.
The Chuncho-Cuzco 70% is a masterclass in honoring the Chuncho bean. This heirloom variety is celebrated for its complex and aromatic profile. To preserve these delicate characteristics, the maker employs a light roast and careful refinement in a melanger, resulting in a texture that allows the nuanced flavors to shine. Upon tasting, one encounters a sophisticated bouquet of sweet fruit and berries, balanced by a light herbal freshness, citrus notes, and a grounding finish of wood and nuts.
Simplicity defines the composition of this bar, which relies on just two ingredients: organic cacao mass and organic sugar. This minimalist approach ensures that the integrity of the Chuncho harvest remains the focal point. The bar is produced under strict standards, holding certifications as Organic, Vegan, and Gluten-Free. Its excellence has been recognized on the global stage, most notably receiving Gold at the International Chocolate Awards Americas.
