The Acará River 70% is a wild-harvested Brazilian dark chocolate made from Amazonian Amelonado cacao, featuring notes of Brazil nut and candied fruit.
The Acará River 70% bar is produced by Luisa Abram, a maker based in Brazil that specializes in working with wild cacao found within the Amazon region. This bar highlights the specific botanical characteristics of the Amelonado variety, which is carefully sourced and processed to reflect the conditions of the river basin where it grows.
To capture the essence of the Amazon, the beans are fermented in wooden boxes by local riverside communities and sun-dried before processing. Luisa Abram uses a melanger to refine the nibs, resulting in a texture that carries a flavor profile defined by Brazil nut, caramel, and woody undertones, balanced by hints of pineapple and candied fruits. The bar earned a Gold Award from the Academy of Chocolate in 2018.
The composition of this bar reflects a focus on the natural fats and sugars inherent in the cacao, containing 40g of fat and 30g of sugar per 100g. By engaging with remote riverside communities for the harvest, the production process supports local practices while maintaining a focus on the quality of the wild-harvested ingredients.
