Platanal Bajo 72%

Representing the pinnacle of small-batch production, this bean-to-bar maker focuses on showcasing the inherent character of specific cacao origins rather than masking them through heavy-handed processing.

At the heart of this bar lies the prized Piura Blanco cacao, sourced from the Chulucanas region of Peru. These beans are meticulously processed, fermented in wooden boxes, and sun-dried to preserve their delicate qualities. On the palate, the bar reveals a sophisticated profile defined by vibrant notes of red fruit, balanced by the sweetness of honey and a comforting finish of toffee. Its composition remains minimalist, featuring only three ingredients: cacao beans, cane sugar, and cocoa butter.

The excellence of this bar has been widely recognized on the global stage. It earned silver accolades in 2023 from both the International Chocolate Awards, spanning both World and Americas categories, as well as the Academy of Chocolate. These honors reflect a dedicated commitment to craft and an uncompromising approach to quality in every batch.
