About

Peru 72%

Pump Street is an artisan producer based in Suffolk, England. This bar showcases the specific character of the La Pareja farm located in the Piura region of Peru. As a bean-to-bar maker, the team oversees the entire production process from the arrival of the raw beans to the final tempering of the bars.

The bar is crafted from the sought-after Piura Blanco variety, a bean known for its light color and distinct flavor profile. This 72% dark chocolate offers a sensory experience characterized by acidity and fruit, featuring notes of lemon sherbet, blackberries, toffee apple, and a finish of almond. The production focuses on a minimal ingredient list consisting only of cocoa beans, cane sugar, and cocoa butter.

Recognition for this specific origin includes a silver award from the International Chocolate Awards. Each 70 gram bar is produced in a facility that also handles ingredients including milk, gluten, eggs, nuts, and sesame seeds, meaning it may contain traces of these allergens.
