This 70% dark milk chocolate utilizes the native Chuncho bean, a variety prized for its aromatic complexity. The profile features bright layers of tropical fruit such as soursop, banana, and pineapple, balanced by a grounded base of roasted coffee and a mix of walnuts, almonds, and peanuts. The inclusion of skimmed milk creates a texture that supports these fruity and nutty transitions.
The bar is crafted using organic cacao paste, cane sugar, skimmed milk, and cocoa butter. Its consistency in quality has been recognized at the International Chocolate Awards, where it earned Silver medals in the Peru Competition in both 2017 and 2019.
