Cusco 65%, Peru

Flavours of pineapple and melon merge into a tropical fruity chocolate made from the rarest Chuncho cacao.

One of Peru’s most valued cacao varieties, “Chuncho”, grows in the heights of Machu Picchu. Chuncho is an ancient cacao, confirmed by researchers as a distinct genetic group and considered as the 'father' of all fine cacao. Many Peruvian cacaos are called “Chuncho,” but we protect and regrow the original “Chuncho” variety. Your purchase of this exclusive chocolate supports the preservation of this valuable cacao and its guardian, the mighty condor, which was sacred to the Incas and today urgently needs support to continue to survive in the wild.
