Gran Nativo 76%

Plaq is an artisan bean-to-bar chocolate maker situated in the heart of Paris, France. Founded on the principle of purity, the workshop focuses on showcasing the intrinsic qualities of the cacao bean through a stripped-back, intentional manufacturing process. By keeping the craft in-house, they maintain complete oversight from the initial roasting stages to the final temper of the 40-gram bars.

The Gran Nativo 76% is a masterclass in clean flavor expression, crafted from just three simple components: cacao nibs, organic demerara sugar, and added cocoa butter. The Piura beans from Peru undergo a meticulous post-harvest process involving fermentation in wooden boxes and sun drying to preserve their delicate character. On the palate, this results in a vibrant experience, highlighted by clear notes of lemon, white raisin, and subtle floral undertones.

This commitment to transparency and quality has earned the bar international recognition. It was honored with silver awards at both the International Chocolate Awards 2018 for the Americas and the Academy of Chocolate 2018.
