Origin & Craftsmanship
Cuzco 80% is made by Cacaosuyo using the rare, native Chuncho cacao beans from the Urubamba Valley in the lower Cuzco region of the Peruvian Andes, near Machu Picchu. This area is known for housing many native cocoa varieties, which Cacaosuyo helps preserve through direct trade practices and careful attention to the entire "tree-to-bar" process. The bar is minimally processed at origin in Peru to express the unique genetics of this heirloom cocoa strain.

Flavor Profile
Despite its high cocoa content, this bar is known for being naturally sweeter and less bitter or astringent than most 80% chocolates. Tasting notes start with a slight fruitiness, including hints of red fruit or citrus, which then slowly fades into a lingering fresh, herbal finish. Other reviewers have noted hints of pineapple, hay, and a unique "buttery melty texture".

Tasting & Pairing Guide
Let a small square melt on your tongue to appreciate its subtle complexity. Note the initial sweet fruity notes as they fade into the unique, long-lasting herbal finish.
  • Complementary Pairings: Try pairing with fortified wines like sherry or vermouth, or other dessert wines such as Madeira or Port.
  • Contrast Pairings: Pair with barrel-aged spirits like whiskey or rum.
Summary
Cuzco 80% is an award-winning (World Gold at the International Chocolate Awards 2020-2021) and highly refined bar that showcases the unique potential of Peru's native Chuncho cacao . Its mild fruit and distinct lingering herbal notes make it a unique and complex experience, ideal for dark chocolate lovers seeking depth and a surprisingly sweet character in a high-cocoa bar.

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.
