Based in the Netherlands, Chocolate Makers is a dedicated bean-to-bar manufacturer that prioritizes transparency and craftsmanship. This specific 80 gram bar showcases their relationship with the Awajún region of Peru. By controlling the entire production process from raw bean to finished bar, the maker emphasizes the distinct personality of the heirloom Criollo cacao variety they source, bringing a sense of place to every bite.

Unlike many industrial bars, the cacao is not alkalized, which preserves the complex, natural nuances of the Peruvian beans. The texture is defined by a velvety melt, punctuated by 10% crunchy caramel pieces and a precise 0.3% addition of sea salt. This salt serves to heighten the buttery profile of the condensed milk and real butter used in the recipe.

The integrity of the bar is supported by both Organic and Fairtrade certifications, reflecting a commitment to ecological and social responsibility within the Awajún supply chain. Chocolate Makers avoids synthetic additives like PGPR, opting instead for sunflower lecithin to maintain a smooth consistency.
