Rio Juruá 70%, Luisa Abram

Name: Rio Juruá 70%
Brand: Luisa Abram
Rating: 4 (1 reviews)

Produced by the Brazilian artisan Luisa Abram, the Rio Juruá 70% bar represents a focused approach to single-origin chocolate. The brand operates in São Paulo, where the focus remains on transforming raw materials sourced directly from remote areas of the Amazon rainforest into finished bars.

The foundation of this bar is wild cocoa harvested from trees along the Juruá river. After being fermented in wooden boxes and dried in the sun by local riverside communities, the beans undergo processing in a melanger. The final formulation is intentionally minimalist, containing only wild cocoa mass, organic cane sugar, and wild cocoa butter.

Recognition for this specific bar includes a Gold award at the International Chocolate Awards Brazil 2019, alongside additional accolades from the International Chocolate Awards Americas, Bean to Bar Brasil, and the Academy of Chocolate. The maker maintains a direct connection to the harvest, ensuring the wild characteristics of the Juruá river region remain the central focus of the final product.
