Tasting Notes: This 100% Chunco bar is made with cacao from Ayacucho, Peru. Qantu makers picked this cocoa for the 100% chocolate because of its unique flavor and mild acidity. Despite no sugar or any other ingredients, this bar is not bitter as one would come to expect.

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.

Nice 100% bar

This was my first 100% bar. My wife went sugar free, so I found this and a few other bars that would work for her. She isn't a fan of the 100% bars. I am not big on them either, but please read on.

I am going to give this a 5☆ rating. It is an Academy of Chocolate Gold award winner (2018), and is rated highly by others here. So I trust their opinions on what makes for a good 100% bar. As someone who is new to 100% bars, I will say that it is much different than a lower % bar. The taste is much different and the creaminess/smoothness is less pronounced than the lower % bars. But that doesn't make it bad - just different. It makes you appreciate the difference and understand the flavor of chocolate. This bar is smooth - it is not bitter. I found the best time to eat it is after a meal. The flavor is earthy with some light floral notes. And the chocolate flavor / taste stays in your mouth longer than a lower % bar.

So while I can't say this (or any 100% bar...none that I have tried so far) will be something I crave or will be my 'go-to' bar, it wasn't bad. It was educational and different. If you like 100% bars, then I would recommend this one to you.

A standout 100%

I eat a lot of 100% bars, and this one is really original. Although it has the very "bright" notes that are characteristic of 100% bars, it's less bitter and has lovely notes of cinnamon.

Superb!

A unique standout among the 100 percent cacao bars. Immediately fruit-forward, but not simplistic, and without any hint of bitterness. The unfolding of the flavor really takes your sense of taste on an extended and complex journey. An absolutely wonderful experience in your mouth that lingers for a long time. I highly recommend you give this bar a try.
