Origin & Craftsmanship
This bar showcases heirloom cacao sourced from Tumaco — often referred to as the "Pearl of the Pacific" region of Colombia for its lush, vibrant rainforest terroir. Cacao Hunters works closely with local communities to revive native cacao genetics and bring them to global recognition through bean-to-bar craftsmanship. 

Flavor Profile
Expect a complex, layered dark chocolate experience with nuanced notes of wood, spices, nuts, and caramel — an elegant reflection of its rainforest origins. 

Accolades & Awards

  • Awarded Bronze at the International Chocolate Awards in 2019, the Perla Negra bar demonstrates both refined flavor and cultural storytelling. 

Tasting & Pairing Guide

Let the Perla Negra bar melt slowly on your tongue to experience its fragrant layers of warm wood, subtle spice, nutty richness, and velvety caramel sweetness. Pair it with a medium-bodied red wine like a Merlot or Malbec to enhance its spice and orchard fruit undertones. For a non-alcoholic choice, a smoky oolong or aged black tea complements the roasted wood tones beautifully. Enjoy it alongside toasted pecans or a nutty biscotti to mirror the chocolate’s spiced sweetness.

Summary

The Perla Negra 74% Dark Chocolate bar is a refined expression of Colombia’s Pacific terroir — one that harmonizes ancient cacao genetics with contemporary craftsmanship. Its richly aromatic profile, minimalist ingredient list, and award-winning pedigree make it a standout for discerning chocolate lovers who value both taste and provenance.

Unsere Schokoladenhersteller verzichten in ihren Produkten stolz auf den Einsatz künstlicher Stabilisatoren oder Konservierungsmittel, wodurch ihre Kreationen im Vergleich zu anderer Premium-Schokolade temperaturempfindlicher sind.

Um ein optimales Geschmackserlebnis zu gewährleisten, empfiehlt es sich, unsere Pralinen an einem kühlen, trockenen Ort bei einer Temperatur zwischen 16 °C und 18 °C aufzubewahren. Bitte vermeiden Sie es, unsere Pralinen im Kühlschrank aufzubewahren, da dies aufgrund der erhöhten Luftfeuchtigkeit zur Zuckerkristallisation führen kann, was ihre Textur und ihren Geschmack verändern kann.

Im Gegenteil: Bei zu hohen Temperaturen kann sich die Kakaobutter trennen und einen weißen Film auf der Oberfläche der Schokolade bilden. Dieser Verlust an Kakaobutter kann dazu führen, dass die Schokolade austrocknet und sich infolgedessen der Geschmack verändert. Durch eine sorgfältige Lagerung können Sie die Integrität unserer köstlichen Schokolade bewahren.
