Award-winning 70% dark chocolate bar by Gansett Craft Chocolate, featuring rare Chuncho beans from Peru with bright notes of citrus, honey, and nuts.
Gansett Craft Chocolate is a dedicated bean to bar maker based in the United States. This specific bar showcases the rare and ancient Chuncho cacao variety, sourced from the high altitude Cusco region of Peru. As an artisan producer, Gansett focuses on small batches that highlight the genetic heritage of these tiny, flavor-dense beans, which are widely regarded by enthusiasts as some of the finest in the world.
This 70% dark chocolate offers a sophisticated sensory experience defined by its traditional refining method. By using a melanger for slow, stone grinding, the maker preserves the delicate aromatic oils of the cacao. The resulting texture is refined and smooth, allowing the characteristic Peruvian profile to shine. Tasters often discover bright bursts of citrus paired with the mellow sweetness of honey and a foundational richness of toasted nuts.
The purity of this bar is rooted in its minimal ingredient list, consisting only of organic cacao, organic cane sugar, and organic cocoa butter. There are no emulsifiers like lecithin or flavor masks such as vanillin, ensuring a clean and honest expression of the Cusco terroir. This commitment to quality and transparency earned the bar significant recognition in 2021, including a Silver award from the International Chocolate Awards and a Bronze from the Academy of Chocolate.
