About Peru Marañón 72%
Feitoria do Cacao is an artisan chocolate maker based in Aveiro, Portugal. The brand focuses on the bean-to-bar process, managing production from raw material to the finished product in its Portuguese workshop.
The Peru Marañón 72% utilizes the rare Pure Nacional bean variety sourced from the Marañón region. These beans undergo a specific 6-day fermentation process in wooden boxes followed by sun drying. The resulting chocolate is crafted using only cocoa beans, cane sugar, and added cocoa butter, processed and refined in a melanger to achieve its final texture.
Its development reflects the technical approach taken by the makers to preserve the characteristics of the Marañón harvest.
