Produced by the Brazilian chocolatier Luisa Abram, this 80-gram bar highlights the specific characteristics of cocoa sourced directly from the Purus River region in the Amazon. Luisa Abram operates as a bean-to-bar maker, focusing on the careful transformation of wild-harvested beans into finished chocolate within Brazil.

The production process relies on a melanger for refining the cocoa nibs. The recipe is intentionally straightforward, utilizing only wild cocoa beans, organic cane sugar, and added cocoa butter. This minimalist approach allows the natural profile of the wild-harvested Amazonian beans to remain the focal point of the tasting experience.

Luisa Abram utilizes a direct trade sourcing model to acquire beans, maintaining a close connection with the origins of the raw ingredients. The quality of this specific bar was recognized with a Bronze award from the Academy of Chocolate in 2019.
