Cafe Con Leche 40%

Chokaico is an artisan maker dedicated to the craft of bean-to-bar chocolate, operating with a deep respect for the origins of their raw materials. Based in their workshop, they focus on small-batch production that highlights the unique characteristics of Peruvian cacao. By managing the process from bean selection to the final tempered bar, they ensure that the integrity of the harvest remains at the heart of their work.

The Cafe Con Leche 40% is a refined expression of the dark milk category. Crafted using a blend of Chunchos, Criollo, and Trinitario bean varieties harvested in the VRAE region of Peru, the bar benefits from a traditional stone-ground production method. This technique preserves the rustic texture while allowing the 40% cacao content to meld seamlessly with the addition of ground espresso coffee beans. The resulting sensory profile is marked by a sophisticated balance of bold espresso and a mellow, creamy finish.

Commitment to ethical practices is a cornerstone of the Chokaico philosophy. Every bar is produced using cacao that carries Fair Trade certification, ensuring that the relationships with farmers in the VRAE region are built on equity and sustainability. This dedication to quality and integrity has been recognized on the global stage, earning the bar a Silver award at the International Chocolate Awards 2021-22.
