Cotopaxi 70%

The Cotopaxi 70% is crafted by Huma Chocolate, an artisan maker dedicated to the specific terroir of Ecuador. The bar centers on the Arriba Nacional variety of cacao, which is harvested directly from the Cotopaxi region. This specific origin is celebrated for its genetic heritage and contributes significantly to the final character of the 50-gram bar.

The manufacturing process relies on a rigorous fermentation and drying protocol to prepare the beans, followed by refining in a melanger. This controlled method aims to preserve the inherent qualities of the Arriba Nacional beans. The resulting profile presents distinct notes of floral aromatics, balanced by the sweetness of honey and a foundational nutty finish.

The ingredient list is minimal and transparent, containing only cacao beans, organic cane sugar, and added cocoa butter. This dedication to quality has been recognized by industry peers, as the bar earned a Silver award at the 2018 Academy of Chocolate and silver honors at both the 2019 Americas and World International Chocolate Awards.
