Experience the rare Piura Blanco cacao in this 61% milk chocolate. A silver-award-winning bar featuring complex notes of candied fruit and rich caramel.
The Smooth Piura Peru Milk 61% is a testament to the potential of single-origin Peruvian cacao. Crafted with precision, this bar highlights the prized Piura Blanco bean, a rare variety celebrated for its delicate profile and genetic purity.
Processing begins with a careful fermentation protocol, where beans spend six to eight days in wooden boxes before being sun-dried. Once at the facility, the beans are refined using a melanger to achieve a velvety texture that bridges the gap between dark and milk chocolate. This 61% cacao formulation incorporates high-quality Dutch cow milk and sugar to create a sophisticated sensory experience, boasting layers of caramel, candied fruit, dried grapes, roasted nuts, and a whisper of tropical spices.
The excellence of this approach has been recognized on the global stage, most notably earning a Silver award from the Academy of Chocolate in 2022. Every 70-gram bar reflects a commitment to the craft, ensuring that the bright, fruity notes of the Peruvian harvest remain the focal point while providing the creamy, comforting finish expected from a premium milk chocolate.
