Origin & Craftsmanship
This bar is part of Cacao Hunters’ esteemed Heirloom Collection, featuring rare cacao from Tumaco, a lush Pacific-coastal region in Colombia known for its distinctive terroir. Cacao Hunters partners directly with local farmers to restore and celebrate native cacao genetics through meticulous bean-to-bar production, honoring tradition while elevating flavour.

Flavor Profile
At 70% cacao, this bar offers a deep, rich chocolate experience layered with dark fruit and berry notes, gentle spice and earth tones, and a subtle hint of smoky sweetness on the finish. The flavour is complex and well-balanced—true to its origin—showcasing both power and elegance without overwhelming bitterness.

Tasting & Pairing Guide

Allow a square to melt slowly, letting the fruity and dark berry top notes emerge first, then deepen into richer cocoa and subtle roasting nuances.
Pair this bar with a medium-bodied red wine like Pinot Noir or a smooth Cabernet Franc to echo its red fruit and cocoa depth. For a non-alcoholic option, try a floral oolong tea or a rich, lightly roasted coffee to highlight its layered character. Textural pairings like toasted pecans or dried cherries add an enjoyable contrast that enhances each flavour note.

Summary

The Tumaco 70% bar from Cacao Hunters is a beautifully expressive dark chocolate that celebrates Colombia’s Pacific terroir. With balanced fruit, spice, and cocoa depth, it’s crafted for those who appreciate complexity and origin-driven flavour in every square.

Keep in a cool, dry place, away from direct light and strong odors. Store at maximum
18 ° C in its original packaging

Our chocolate makers proudly refrain from using any artificial stabilizers or preservatives in their products, making their creations more temperature-sensitive compared to other premium chocolates.

To ensure the optimal taste experience, it's advisable to store our chocolates in a cool, dry place where the temperature hovers between 16°C and 18°C. Please refrain from refrigerating our chocolates, as this may cause sugar crystallization due to increased humidity, altering their texture and flavor.

On the contrary, if stored in excessively high temperatures, cocoa butter may separate and form a white film on the chocolate's surface. This loss of cocoa butter can lead to the chocolate drying out and, consequently, a potential alteration in flavor. Your mindful storage practices will help preserve the integrity of our delectable chocolates.
