About
Maranon 100%
Produced by Lucid Chocolatier in New Zealand, the Maranon 100% bar stands as a testament to the potential of single-origin craft chocolate. The maker focuses on precision and clarity, treating the rare Pure Nacional cacao with immense respect to showcase the terroir of its origin. This bar is sourced from a specific farm lot managed by Noe Vasquez in Huarango, Cajamarca, Peru, highlighting the importance of traceability in modern craft chocolate.
The sensory experience of this 100% bar defies the typical intensity expected of unsweetened chocolate. By utilizing a melanger for a refined, smooth texture, Lucid Chocolatier draws out a surprisingly rounded flavor profile. Without the distraction of added sugar, the palate explores rich, indulgent notes of decadent brownie, warm caramel, and a distinct toasted hazelnut finish. It is a minimalist composition, relying only on cacao beans and added cacao butter to achieve its velvety melt.
The excellence of this bar has been recognized on the international stage, earning a Silver medal at the 2022 Academy of Chocolate awards. Lucid Chocolatier maintains a philosophy centered on the purity of the bean, ensuring that the labor and care invested in the Cajamarca region are reflected in the final craft product. Every element of the bar is designed to celebrate the singular beauty of the Maranon cacao.
