CACAOSUYO CUZCO 80% GOLD WINNER INT'L CHOC AWARDS, 70GR

“The best kept secret of the Incas” made at origin in Peru. Cacaosuyo are chocolate geeks’ elite rockstars. Minimally processed chocolate bars express each Peruvian cacao strain’s genetics in crystal clear surround sound. Their unrivaled attention to detail and direct trade practices are key in improving lives of producers and preserving rare varietals that would otherwise be lost to more industrial, “productive” strains.

Mild and flavorful cacao native to Cuzco yields an 80% bar naturally sweeter than most. Slight fruitiness slowly fades into a lingering fresh, herbal finish.

This Criollo cacao is harvested in a jungle located in the lower parts of the Cuzco region, an area which houses many native cacao varieties, several hours and many thousands of feet below the famous citadel of Machu Picchu. The bar features lightly sweet notes which start off fruity, but fade slowly into a fresh, fruity herbality. The final herbal note last longer than one might expect, due completely to the character of the cacao used
