The World's Top Dark Chocolate Bars 2023

Origin & Craftsmanship
This bar is crafted by Cacaosuyo in Peru, using the rare Chuncho cacao beans grown in the highlands of the Cuzco region. These beans are processed with bean-to-bar precision, with full traceability and an emphasis on preserving the natural characteristics of the strain and terroir. 

Flavor Profile
With 70 % cacao content, this bar opens with bright sweetness and fruity notes—think red berries and citrus—then evolves into more subtle herbaceous and woody undertones. The result is a dark chocolate that’s expressive and elegant rather than purely intense. 

Tasting & Pairing Guide

Let a square melt slowly on your tongue and allow the fruity brightness to emerge first, followed by the softer herbal finish.
Pair it with a medium-bodied red wine such as a young Rioja or a well-balanced Merlot to echo the fruit-forward start and mellow finish. For a non-alcoholic pairing, a floral oolong or jasmine tea brings out the bar’s refined notes without overpowering them. To enhance texture and flavour contrast, serve alongside dried cherries or toasted pecans that mirror its layered profile.

Summary

The Chuncho Cuzco 70% bar from Cacaosuyo offers an exceptional expression of Peruvian highland cacao—bold yet nuanced, fruity yet grounded in refined cocoa character. It’s an excellent choice for chocolate lovers who appreciate origin-driven, high-quality dark chocolate with personality and depth.

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.
