About El Ganso 70%
Cacaosuyo is a Peruvian maker that produces this 70% dark chocolate. The bar utilizes the Porcelana variety of cacao, which is sourced from the Junin region of Peru. This specific origin is central to the profile of the 70 g bar.
The flavour profile of this chocolate is defined by distinct notes of jasmine and honey. In terms of production, the makers utilize careful fermentation and drying practices in the field. Notably, they have pioneered the use of shaded pre-secado drying techniques. The composition is limited to cocoa mass and sugar, with no added cocoa butter, lecithin, vanilla, vanillin, or PGPR.
The product is made on a line that also handles milk and nuts, as noted in the allergen statement. It has received recognition at the International Chocolate Awards, including Gold in Peru (2023, 2025, 2026), World Final Gold (2025), World Final Silver (2023), and Americas Silver (2023).
