Maker

Qantu

Qantu is a chocolate maker based in Montreal. Qantu was started by Elfi and Maxime in 2016. This pair fell in love with bean to bar chocolate after researching cocoa after their first plantation visit in 2014. The immense passion and pride of the cocoa producers inspired them to create bean to bar chocolate. Qantu focuses on Peruvian cacao for the moment, which is where Maxime and Elfi met over a decade ago in Elfi’s home country. The name “ Qantu” (pronounced “Kantu”) derives from the name of the national flower of Peru and Bolivia. The word comes from the native language of the Peruvian Andes, Quechua, it represents a symbol of unity and hospitality.

Qantu

Cacao region

Junín

Junin is a central Peruvian department where cacao grows in low jungle valleys with varying altitudes and volcanic soils that contribute to complex flavor development. The region's fruit-forward profile, with notes of berries and cherry, reflects both the terroir and traditional post-harvest techniques used by smallholder farmers. Junin is part of Peru's Selva Central, where 80 percent of the country's cacao production is concentrated.

Junín

Cacao estate

CAC Pangoa

CAC Pangoa is a cacao co-op in the Junín region of Peru, with more than 700 contributing members. Pangoa originally focused on coffee beans, but in the decades since their founding in 1977, they’ve also become dedicated to preserving their land through the cultivation of cacao. With the help of the organization Conservation Cacao, CAC Pangoa is planting more & more fine flavor varietals of cacao to sustainably and safely replace their ageing coffee. These days, the cooperative only produces organic-certified Fair Trade cacao, and they’re starting to turn to it more & more as their coffee trees feel the devastating effects of climate change.

Not for me

Too astringent, tart, sour, orange pitch tannin. Not very pleasant.

tart

I tasted the figs, dates, and roses, but mainly got a big punch of red wine flavor. I agree with E.R. about the tart apple cider vinegar flavor. Almost like a tangy tamarind sauce. It's definitely an interesting bar.

Complex and smooth

In general, I can't say enough about Qantu chocolate. I have tried many of ther bars and they are all excellent. This bar is no exception. Less of the cherry/berry flavor you find in some of their other bars but layers of more subtle flavors. I put this one in a taste test with four other bars from quality makers with a group of friends and this one was the clear winner. The tasting notes describe figs, dates and roses and that is very close to what the group described. Very creamy texture and complex but subtle flavors. One taste creates a journey.

Intense Flavor

I was amazed by how prominently the flavor notes stood out in this one. Normally I'm racking my brain to put notes to a bar of chocolate and can't go beyond "this is incredible," but this was just an explosion of flavor. This would be the perfect bar to introduce people to fine chocolate and distinguishing tasting notes. The honey notes overpowered it for me, it tasted like the really good smooth orange blossom honey. The figs and roses notes were less prominent. It was super syrupy without being overly sweet, it was perfect!

Happy in TN

Love this bar, it might be my fav by Quantum. Soooooo smooth with the longest mouth feel and after taste. A little tiny piece gives satisfaction. Last time I had a bar this good it was a limited edition by Soma and cost twice as much.

Unique, tangy Peru bar

This was an unusual but ultimately very pleasant bar. Distinct notes of dried apple and apple cider vinegar dominated, but with satisfying richness. If you don't like chocolate with more pronounced sourness, this might not be your thing. But if you love the red fruit acidity of Madagascar bars, give this a try!

This outstanding bar should be the benchmark for greatness. I had no expectations and this bar truly delivered in the texture, taste and mouthful department. Caterina below described it well: no bitterness but all fig and floral notes.

Collaboration

A true collaboration between Canada and Peru the chocolate is amazing in taste from start to finish. It seems that the couple who own Qantu also put extra care into the design of the packaging. Highly recommend!

Qantu Chaska 70%

Amazing dark chocolate bar. The color is wood-like brown. Elegant and minimal mold. Sharp snap. The scents are very feminine and charming: figs and roses bouquet. The palate is delicate and harmonious: ripe figs and pink roses notes enriched by dates undertones. The finish is very clean. Light sweet floral chocolate aftertaste. Mouthwatering. No bitterness or astringency. Just elegant deliciousness.
