About Andean Mint
Andean Mint is produced in Ecuador by Paccari, an Ecuadorian chocolate company.
The foundation of this bar is the Arriba Nacional cocoa bean, a variety prized for its floral and fruity characteristics. With a 60% cacao content, the chocolate serves as a platform for the aromatic mint essence. The recipe keeps the ingredient list straightforward, relying on cocoa mass, cane sugar, cocoa butter, and sunflower lecithin to achieve its texture. Its reputation is supported by international recognition, including a World Gold award at the 2016 International Chocolate Awards.
Sourcing and production ethics are core components of the Paccari identity. The company maintains several certifications, including Organic and Fair Trade, to underscore its commitment to social and environmental standards. The bar is also produced as a vegan product, reflecting a focus on ingredient transparency and sustainable agricultural practices.
