Acara 70%, La Brigaderie

La Brigaderie produces the Acara 70% bar using wild cacao harvested by families along the banks of the Acará river within the Baixo Amazonas basin. This small-batch creation highlights the specific character of the region through a focused, minimalist approach to chocolate making.

The bar is crafted exclusively from Amelonado cacao beans and cane sugar. This simplicity allows the inherent traits of the variety to emerge, presenting a sensory profile defined by intense cocoa, notes of exotic fruits, and the earthy sweetness of brown sugar and molasses. A distinct hint of Brazil nut adds to the finish of each piece.

The commitment to quality displayed by the maker is recognized by the industry, as evidenced by the Academy of Chocolate Silver award received in 2024. The 60-gram bar stands as an example of direct connection to the source and respectful processing of Amazonian cacao.
