Pearl of Ecuador Black 100% is an unsweetened Ecuadorian bar made with Nacional Arriba beans, featuring notes of walnut, brownie, and coffee.
The Pearl of Ecuador Black 100% is produced by Heinde & Verre, an artisan chocolate maker. This 70-gram bar focuses on the pure expression of Nacional Arriba cacao beans, which are sourced directly from the Cerecita Guayas region in Ecuador.
As a 100% cacao bar, the product contains no sugar. The beans undergo a precise refining process in a melanger to achieve their texture. The resulting profile presents a balance of deep flavors, specifically brownie, walnut, and coffee, punctuated by faint herbal characteristics and a hint of white fruit.
The commitment to quality and technical execution is reflected in the recognition this bar has received within the industry. It was honored with a Silver award from the Academy of Chocolate in 2024, highlighting the consistency and character of this specific Ecuadorian harvest.
