Award winning 70% dark chocolate featuring Peruvian Native Chuncho cacao. A stone ground bar with vibrant notes of citrus, nuts, and floral elements.
Chokaico is a United States based bean to bar maker focused on transforming rare Peruvian genetic varieties into refined craft chocolate. This specific bar showcases the Native Chuncho cacao, a revered variety originating from the Cusco region in the Southern Amazon of Peru. By working with these heritage beans, the maker captures the unique biodiversity of the Peruvian rainforest in a focused 50 gram format.
With a cacao concentration of 70 percent, this dark chocolate presents a complex sensory journey characterized by bright citrus, warm nuts, and delicate floral notes. The production process utilizes a stone ground refining method with a melanger, creating a distinct texture that honors the raw material. The beans undergo a careful protocol of natural fermentation and sun drying before being processed without the use of lecithin, vanillin, or vegetable fats to ensure the bean's true character remains the protagonist.
The foundation of this bar is a commitment to quality and ethical transparency, evidenced by its Fair Trade certification. The ingredient list remains minimalist, containing only native chuncho cacao beans, cane sugar, and cacao butter. This dedication to purity and craftsmanship was recognized at the International Chocolate Awards Americas 2021-22, where the bar earned a Bronze award for its exceptional profile. The experience is housed in a distinctive gold pouch featuring a deer head logo.
