The World's Top Dark Chocolate Bars 2023

International Chocolate Awards 2023 - Silver

Terroir & Bean Excellence

  • Crafted from the rare Chuncho cacao, sourced from the jungle valleys near Cuzco and Machu Picchu. These small‑bean, high‑fat varieties are among Peru’s oldest native cacao strains, domesticated by the Matsiguenga people.

  • Entirely produced at origin—harvested, fermented, dried, and transformed into a chocolate bar in Peru, reflecting Cacaosuyo’s dedication to traceability and regional authenticity.

Flavor & Texture Notes

  • Aroma: A distinct earthy, fermented-fruit profile with hints of citrus and berry.

  • Taste: Opens with bright fruitiness—citrus, melon, or berries—that gently folds into creamy, herbal, and gently woody notes. Some tasters note molasses and pecan nuances.

  • Texture: Noticeably coarse and rustic, offering a pleasantly tactile, slightly grainy mouthfeel.

  • Finish: Lightly sweet yet refined, with a refreshing herbal or woody aftertaste that follows the fruit notes.

Recognition

  • Awarded medals at the International Chocolate Awards, including likely Gold (Americas), Bronze (2017 Peru), and possible Silver/Gold in Europe—underscoring its international acclaim.

Why It’s Special

  • Heritage & Biodiversity: Showcases an ancestral Peruvian cacao variety with cultural significance, championing biodiversity preservation.

  • Minimalist Craftsmanship: Composed of only two ingredients—cacao and sugar—ensuring an unadulterated expression of bean flavor.

  • Balanced Intensity: At 70%, it delivers robust depth without overwhelming bitterness, striking a harmonious balance between intensity and approachability.

Pairings & Enjoyment Tips

  • Sip Slowly: Best appreciated slowly to follow the evolution from vibrant fruit to herbal, woody finish.

  • Perfect Partners: Barrel-aged spirits (rum, whiskey), fortified wines (port, madeira), or floral-yet-light white teas beautifully complement its fruity-herbal spectrum.

  • Culinary Use: Finely grate over creamy desserts or melt into sauces to introduce layered fruitiness and subtle herb notes.

Summary: The Chuncho Cuzco 70% bar is a tribute to old‑world Peruvian cacao—rich in fruit, herbal, and woody layers, with a textured mouthfeel that emphasizes authenticity. It’s a refined yet grounded dark-chocolate experience, ideal for those seeking a distinct sense of place and tradition in every square.

18 ° C in its original packaging

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.
