Máximo has Qantu's complete admiration for his commitment to growing cocoa and preserving pure and rare varieties.

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.

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.

Cacao estate

Bellavista

Bellavista is a region in Peru's San Martín that hosts multiple organic cacao producers, particularly through cooperatives like ACOPAGRO. Award-winning cacao of special qualities earned recognition in international cacao excellence competitions.
