About Cusco 80%
Maraná, a Peruvian maker based in Lima, produces the Cusco 80% bar using cacao harvested in the Quillabamba valley. This bean-to-bar creator emphasizes the specific terroir of the Andes, working directly with the unique genetics of the local region to create a focused expression of Peruvian agriculture.
The bar utilizes the Chuncho cacao variety, which is prized for its aromatic complexity. This 80% cacao dark chocolate reveals a spectrum of tasting notes including soursop, banana, and pineapple, balanced by deep, earthy undertones of roasted coffee, walnuts, almonds, and peanuts. Its award-winning profile earned Silver honors at the International Chocolate Awards in both 2017 and 2019.
The 70-gram bar is produced with Organic certified cacao. As part of its manufacturing process, the maker notes that the product may contain traces of milk and nuts, reflecting the environment in which the chocolate is finished.
