About Cusco 70%
Produced by Maraná in Peru, this bar highlights the specific terroir of the Cusco region. Maraná works directly with local harvests to showcase the potential of Peruvian cacao, focusing on the preservation of local genetic varieties and regional character.
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.
