Cuzco 80

Cacaosuyo crafts its Cuzco 80 bar as a tribute to the deep heritage of Peru, often describing their work as the best kept secret of the Incas. Based in Peru, this maker focuses on elevating the native cacao varieties of their homeland. By working closely with local sources, they ensure the integrity of the origin remains the centerpiece of their craft.

This 80 percent dark bar highlights the unique characteristics of the Chuncho cacao bean, a variety prized for its nuanced flavor. To coax the best from these beans, the makers employ a specialized pre-drying technique known as pre-secado. By drying the beans in the shade rather than under direct sun, they preserve delicate aromatic compounds. The result is a refined, intense chocolate that has earned global recognition, including Gold at the International Chocolate Awards.

Simplicity defines the composition of this bar. The recipe relies on just two ingredients: organic cacao mass and organic sugar. By stripping away additives like vanilla or extra cocoa butter, Cacaosuyo allows the intrinsic qualities of the Cuzco region to speak for themselves. Every 70 gram bar serves as a direct window into the Peruvian landscape.
