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.

Maker

Cacaosuyo

Cacaosuyo is a "tree to bar" Peruvian chocolate maker with 100% traceability. They pay careful attention to the cacao they use at all stages from harvest, fermentation to the processing of cacao to make the best possible chocolate. Cacaosuyo is so particular about their beans to ensure the best quality that their beans are brought to dedicated labs for analysis. The cacao beans are classified by each and every strain, to detect new flavor profiles and discovering rare varieties. This is a crucial step because this allows rare varieties to become protected which would have otherwise been lost.   Owned by Eduardo Lanfranco and Samir Giha, they craft their chocolate in Lima, Peru using only Peruvian chocolate.

Cacao region

Cuzco

Cuzco is a department in southeastern Peru where the legendary Chuncho cacao variety grows at elevations between 800-1,400 meters, famous as the home of the Incan ruins of Machu Picchu. The high altitude produces high sugar content and exceptional fat levels, while sandy loam soils preserve genetic distinctiveness. Chuncho's fruity, floral profile with lower tannins has earned recognition as one of the world's highest-quality cacao varieties.

Cuzco

Cacao strain

Chuncho

Chuncho is an ancient Criollo strain native to Peru, representing some of the oldest cultivated cacao genetics in South America. Makers value it for its rarity and its connection to pre-Columbian cacao cultivation, making it significant for makers exploring historical and ancestral varieties. Chuncho 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).
