Muscat 78%

The Muscat 78% is a refined expression of the rare and prized Chuncho cacao bean, cultivated in the high-altitude landscapes of the Cusco region in Peru. Crafted by Lucid Chocolatier, this bar represents a dedication to the bean to bar philosophy, where the maker maintains complete control over every stage of production.

The soul of this bar lies in its meticulous post-harvest care and precise manufacturing. The beans undergo a lengthy 120-hour wooden crate fermentation process followed by careful sun-drying to lock in the complex precursors of the Chuncho variety. To preserve these delicate characteristics, Lucid Chocolatier employs a light roast level and careful refining in a melanger. The result is a profile dominated by bright Muscat grape, soft floral undertones, and a natural sweetness reminiscent of wildflower honey, achieved with a simple, transparent ingredient list consisting only of cacao, cane sugar, and cocoa butter.

Recognition of this craftsmanship is evident in the global chocolate community. These accolades reflect a commitment to quality and process that resonates with enthusiasts seeking authentic, specialty-grade chocolate that honors its origin through every step of the journey.
