Cacao Chuncho 85% Dark Chocolate

Pumatiy stands as a dedicated tree-to-bar producer, deeply connected to the rugged landscapes of La Convención in Cusco, Peru. By managing the process from the harvest of the rare Chuncho cacao variety to the finished bar, they capture the authentic terroir of their specific high-altitude region. This singular focus on the source ensures that the inherent characteristics of the heirloom beans remain the protagonist of every bite.

At 85% cacao, this bar is a masterclass in minimalism. Crafted with only two ingredients, cocoa mass and sugar, it eschews additives like lecithin, vanillin, and vegetable fats to highlight the bean itself. The cacao undergoes a precise 144-hour fermentation period within laurel wood boxes, a process that coaxes out a sophisticated flavor profile. Connoisseurs will discover a nuanced symphony of dried fruits, warming nuts, delicate floral highlights, and a bright, refreshing finish of citrus.

Pumatiy's work serves as a testament to the potential of Peruvian cacao, demonstrating how meticulous handling of the raw material can create a profound and memorable sensory experience for the discerning chocolate lover.
