This exquisite 70% dark chocolate is handcrafted in New Zealand, showcasing a profound commitment to the raw potential of Peruvian cacao. By focusing on the 2023 harvest, the maker captures the specific nuances of a single season and location, transforming these sun-dried beans into a bar that bridges the gap between traditional craft and modern precision.
The sensory experience is defined by a minimalist approach, featuring only two ingredients: cacao beans and cane sugar. This simplicity allows the inherent character of the Chuncho bean to take center stage. Enthusiasts will discover a sophisticated flavor profile defined by delicate floral aromatics, a touch of wild honey, and an intriguing spiced finish. The texture is designed to unfold slowly on the palate, revealing layers that shift as the chocolate melts.
The dedication poured into this bar has been recognized on the global stage, earning a Silver medal at the 2024 Academy of Chocolate awards and a Gold medal at the 2024 NZ Chocolate Awards. Such accolades reflect the integrity of the process, from the careful selection of beans in the Pichari region to the final stages of refinement in the New Zealand workshop.
