About 70% de Cacao de Cuzco
Produced by the Spanish bean-to-bar maker Maychoco, this 70% dark chocolate bar utilizes cacao beans sourced from the Quillabamba region of Cusco, Peru. The bar is made from the Chuncho variety of cacao, noted for its specific regional character.
The post-harvest process for these beans involves a 120-hour fermentation period, repeated in five cycles, followed by a six-day drying process using sun and shade methods. The resulting chocolate features flavor notes of nuts, citrus, and floral elements. It contains only three ingredients: cacao beans, cane sugar, and cocoa butter, and is produced without additives such as lecithin, vanillin, or vegetable fats.
