The Arhuaco 82% bar is crafted with a minimal list of ingredients, containing only cacao mass and raw cane sugar. This high cocoa percentage yields a firm texture and a specific sensory profile. Tasting reveals layers of liquorice and sesame balanced by brighter hints of lemon, lemon grass, and sweet spice, centered around a robust cacao base.
