80% Echarate, Vigdis Rosenkilde

Name: 80% Echarate
Brand: Vigdis Rosenkilde
Rating: 5 (1 reviews)

The 80% Echarate bar is a product of artisan maker Vigdis Rosenkilde. This bar highlights the specific character of the Chuncho cocoa variety, which is cultivated in the Echarate region of Peru. The beans are sourced specifically from the Cooperativa Alto Urubamba farm lot, ensuring a clear link between the finished bar and its agricultural origin.

The production process focuses on minimalism, using only cocoa and sugar. Before the beans arrive at the workshop, they undergo a precise 5-day fermentation and drying protocol. The resulting chocolate offers a distinct flavor profile characterized by notes of grapefruit, cherry, and rose. This specific approach to processing the high cacao content has earned the bar recognition from both the International Chocolate Awards and the Academy of Chocolate between 2023 and 2026.

Vigdis Rosenkilde operates as a bean-to-bar maker, maintaining oversight of the production from the raw bean to the finished bar. By keeping the ingredient list to two components, the maker prioritizes the raw qualities of the Peruvian Chuncho beans over additives or extra processing steps.
