Peru Marahua, San Martin 70%

Kestar Chocolate is an artisan bean-to-bar maker based in Romania. Operating on a small scale, they manage the production process from raw cacao bean to finished bar, focusing on highlighting the specific characteristics of their selected origins.

The Peru Marahua 70% dark bar displays the distinct identity of its San Martin source. A defining feature of this particular bar is the presence of visible inclusions, which adds a textural component to the tasting experience. The processing method aims to maintain the integrity of the Peruvian beans, resulting in a bar that balances natural cocoa intensity with the added elements.

By operating as a bean-to-bar producer, Kestar Chocolate maintains direct oversight of their manufacturing. This approach allows for a transparent production chain where the transformation of the Marahua beans is handled in their own facilities in Romania.
