The cacao for this bar is grown in the Cuzco region of Peru, 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.

Cacao Region
Cuzco, PeruCuzco is both a city and a department of Peru, famous as the home of the Incan ruins of Machu Picchu. The department is located in the southeast of the country; much of the landscape is made up of high-altitude settlements, especially in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, known as the gateway to Machu Picchu. Cuzco’s primary earnings come from tourism, but gold and natural gas extraction are also important. Native types of corn and quinoa, as well as tea and coffee, are the principal agricultural focuses, albeit at lower altitudes.
Cacao Strain
ChunchoChuncho cacao encompasses around a dozen related cultivars of the Upper Amazon Forastero group, now considered to be native to the Quillabamba Valley of central Peru. They’re believed to have been domesticated by the Matshiguenga people, whose members were ancestral inhabitants of the Valley. Chuncho trees bear small yellow fruits with small beans (less than 1g per bean), known for their high fat content and very high-altitude growing region (400m-1400m).
