About Chuncho 86% Dark
Lucid Chocolatier is a dedicated bean-to-bar maker that showcases the raw potential of single-origin cacao. Based in New Zealand, this artisan producer focuses on minimalist processing to highlight the inherent characteristics of their beans. Their approach centers on small-batch production, allowing them to exert precise control over every step from the initial roast to the final tempering of the bar.
The Chuncho 86% Dark is a masterclass in high-percentage chocolate craft. By refining the beans in a melanger with only cane sugar, the bar maintains a sharp, crystalline clarity in its flavor profile. At 86% cacao, the texture remains focused, allowing the adventurous profile of the Chuncho variety to shine. Tasting this bar reveals a sophisticated spectrum including barrel-aged Pinot Noir, fragrant floral tobacco, and a surprising, bright finish of sour melon.
The foundation of this bar lies in the unique Chuncho cacao sourced from the Cusco region of Peru. Known for its small, flavorful beans, the Chuncho variety is highly prized among enthusiasts for its depth and aromatic complexity.
