ABOUT THE CHOCOLATE:
Ucayali River Cacao is located near Pucallpa, Ucayali, Peru.  Until recently this area has not been known for fine cacao, but due to the efforts of USAID and Alianza Cacao of Peru there are farmers that are abandoning coca production for Cacao, Coffee and Oil Palm. Back in 2017, we were invited down to visit Ucayali River Cacao, and were able to see first hand how much hard work that goes into crafting their specialty cacao.

  • TASTING NOTES

    Icons

    As the chocolate melts on your tongue, flavours of almond emerge first and foremost, followed by black tea and spice. At 83% we are really impressed at the balance of flavours and low astringency.

Peru 83%

Not bitter at all and reminded me a bit of chocolate covered raisins, despite this being straight dark chocolate. My only "complaint" is that the bars are quite small so I'll have to savor what I have left.
