Name: 70% de Cacao de Cuzco
Brand: Maychoco
Rating: 3.5 (2 reviews)

Produced by the Spanish bean-to-bar maker Maychoco, the 70% de Cacao de Cuzco represents a meticulous approach to fine chocolate making. By maintaining full control over the process, the maker transforms raw beans into a finished bar without the use of additives like lecithin, vanillin, or extraneous vegetable fats.

The soul of this bar lies in its specific origin: the Quillabamba region of Cusco, Peru. Here, the rare and prized Chuncho variety of cacao is harvested. To capture the essence of these beans, the cacao undergoes a precise 120-hour fermentation process, followed by a six-day drying period using a balanced sun and shade method. This attention to detail results in a refined sensory profile, defined by elegant notes of toasted nuts, bright citrus, and subtle floral undertones.

Simplicity defines the recipe. With only three core ingredients, cacao beans, cane sugar, and cocoa butter, the bar allows the terroir of the Peruvian landscape to take center stage. Its craftsmanship has been recognized on the international stage, notably earning a Gold award at the 2024 International Chocolate Awards European competition.
