Chuncho 100%

Nestled in the breathtaking Dolomites of Italy, Karuna is a dedicated bean-to-bar maker that approaches chocolate as a pure, singular expression of terroir. By working directly with heirloom genetics, they bring a meticulous, small-batch focus to the craft, transforming raw ingredients into a deeply refined sensory experience that captures the wild spirit of its origin.

The Chuncho 100% is a masterclass in minimalism. Using only premium cocoa beans and added cocoa butter, the profile relies entirely on the quality of the Chuncho variety sourced from the Cusco region of Peru. These beans are fermented in traditional wooden boxes and dried under the sun, a process that preserves their delicate aromatic potential. Once at the workshop, the cacao is carefully refined in a melanger to achieve a texture that respects the intensity of a sugar-free bar while highlighting the complex, nuanced notes inherent to this specific Peruvian harvest.

Karuna's commitment to quality extends beyond the palate to an uncompromising environmental philosophy. Their packaging is entirely plastic-free and glue-free, utilizing certified natural papers and compostable cellulose foils to ensure their footprint remains as light as their process is rigorous. This dedication to excellence has been recognized on the global stage, including silver honors from the Academy of Chocolate and the International Chocolate Awards.
