Maker
MaranáMaraná is a Peruvian chocolate company that produces bean to bar chocolate from the finest cocoa. Their selection of Peruvian cocoa comes from three regions - Piura, San Martin, and Cusco. All of their chocolate bars are made with certified 100% organic ingredients. Zulema and Giuseppe, both founders of Marana were formerly part of the corporate world for 10 years until they were looking for something else to satisfy their interests. One day while talking to Giuseppe’s aunt that lives in the USA, she mentioned that she has seen a surplus of chocolate with Peruvian cacao. That had sparked some interest to the pair and started doing research about cacao and visiting cacao farms. That’s when they discovered their passion for Peruvian chocolate. Zulema and Giuseppe are committed to helping farmers receive a better quality of life by working directly with them. They find by teaching them sustainable farming, improving their techniques for better optimization of their cacao beans, they are able to guarantee only the finest cacao beans. Marana’s packaging for their bars pay homage to Peruvian culture and the hard work cacao farmers dedicate their lives towards. Since selling their first chocolate bar in 2015, Marana has proudly received multiple awards for their bars.
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.
CCharlotteBar nicely divided into lovely chunky blocks. Nice smooth texture. Wonderfully complex flavor - a heady raspberry coffee hits first along with a deep nutty, earthy, smoky something, floral notes and lingering dark honey finish. Delicious. I can barely stop myself from eating the entire thing!
AAmyIf you enjoy the flavor of nuts but not the crunch in your mouth, this chocolate is for you! It makes for a great afternoon treat while in a meeting... just let it melt for intense flavor.
TTBar has good depth and good dimension, complexities are well balanced and structure is consistent, expression is honest and open with processing remaining fairly hands off to encourage open expression.
PP.C.This is must try chocolate. It tasted malty and fruity to me, and was absolutely delicious.
TTeresaI've always been upset with my not being good at detecting flavors in chocolate, but I have to say, I was able to taste the nuttiness of this one. It starts with an intense dark chocolate flavor, and ends with the nutty flavor. It is not sweet nor too bitter.
In terms of texture, I had to bite into it, it didn't really melt. That's not a bad thing as I enjoyed the slightly chalky feel to it. I also love the nice snap it makes when you divide the chocolate into squares.
