Award-winning Ecuadorian dark chocolate made tree-to-bar from rare Arriba Nacional beans. Features sophisticated notes of honey, coffee, and florals.
Paccari is a pioneering tree-to-bar maker based in Ecuador, dedicated to showcasing the native richness of its homeland. The Los Rios 72% Cacao bar represents a deep dive into a specific provincial terroir, utilizing the prized Arriba Nacional bean variety. Unlike industrial producers, Paccari focuses on the preservation of local heritage and the direct relationship between the tree and the final bar.
This dark chocolate is characterized by a sophisticated and non-alkalized profile that preserves the natural acidity and complexity of the cacao. At 72% concentration, the experience is intense yet balanced, revealing layered notes of sweet honey, aromatic florals, and a deep roasted coffee finish. The texture is refined and velvety, highlighting the natural elegance of the Ecuadorian Arriba variety without the use of vanillin or vegetable fats.
The ingredients are minimal, consisting of organic cacao, cane sugar, and cocoa butter, balanced with a hint of sunflower lecithin. This focus on clean labeling and single-origin sourcing from the Los Rios region earned the bar high honors as an International Chocolate Awards Americas Gold winner.
