About Piura Blanco 70%
The Piura Blanco 70% is produced by Hazel Hill, a bean-to-bar maker based in the United States. This bar highlights the specific characteristics of native criollo cacao beans harvested in the Piura region of Peru.
Crafting this bar involves a controlled fermentation and drying protocol for the beans, followed by processing in a melanger. The result is a 70% cacao composition that balances distinct nutty notes with a lively fruit acidity. The recipe is kept simple, consisting only of roasted cacao and organic sugar.
The attention to detail in the sourcing and refinement process earned the bar a Bronze medal at the 2024 International Chocolate Awards. Each bar is portioned at a weight of 64 grams, focusing on the clarity of the single-origin Peruvian beans.
