Pérou 70%

Monsieur Txokola produces this 95-gram dark chocolate bar, identified as Pérou 70%. Based in France, this maker operates as a bean-to-bar artisan, focusing on the processing of raw cocoa beans rather than purchasing pre-made couverture. The brand emphasizes the importance of the bean itself, utilizing a specific blend of varieties, including 35% Criollo, 45% Arriba, 12% Forastero, and 8% Trinitario.

The sensory profile of this bar is defined by a 70% cacao content, which creates a canvas for the natural characteristics of the Peruvian beans. It offers a profile marked by tangy and fruity nuances, with clear expressions of red fruits. The production process adheres to a minimalist approach, excluding additives such as lecithin, vanillin, PGPR, or supplementary vegetable fats to ensure the focus remains on the primary ingredients of cocoa beans, sugar, and cocoa butter.

The bar is produced under organic certification standards. By managing the transformation from raw bean to final bar, the maker maintains control over the roasting and refining process. This attention to detail allows the specific terroir of the Peruvian cocoa to remain the central feature of the final product.
