Meybol Cacao - Piura 72%
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
Ranked in the Top 100 Chocolates in the World.
Origin & Craftsmanship
This bar from Meybol Cacao highlights the celebrated cacao of Piura, Peru — a region renowned for its rare and aromatic beans. Using an artisanal bean-to-bar process, Meybol sources Piura cacao that’s carefully fermented, roasted, and refined to preserve its distinctive tropical and floral character. The result is a chocolate that expresses terroir with clarity and purpose.
Flavor Profile
At 72% cacao, this bar delivers a rich but balanced flavour journey. It opens with bright citrus and tropical fruit notes, followed by layers of honeyed sweetness and gentle floral nuance, all supported by a core of deep, refined cocoa richness. The finish is smooth and lingering, with elegant fruit-forward accents that set this bar apart.
Tasting & Pairing Guide
Let a square melt slowly on your tongue so the fruit and citrus top notes bloom first, followed by honeyed and floral mid-palate layers, and then a deep cocoa finish.
Pair this bar with a light, fruit-driven red wine such as a young Pinot Noir or Gamay to echo its bright character. For a non-alcoholic option, a crisp bergamot-infused black tea or floral oolong complements its layered profile. To add textural contrast, enjoy with dried apricots or toasted almonds — their sweetness and texture enhance the bar’s nuanced flavours.
Summary
The Piura 72% bar from Meybol Cacao is a beautifully expressive expression of Peruvian cacao, marrying tropical brightness with deep cocoa richness. It’s a standout choice for dark-chocolate lovers who appreciate terroir-driven complexity and refined, layered flavour.
We ship award-winning craft chocolate from our warehouse in Saint John, New Brunswick to more than fifty countries. Rates, transit times and free-shipping thresholds for every destination are below.
How We Protect Chocolate in Transit
Fine chocolate is temperature-sensitive by nature. We pack according to the forecast along the actual route, not the season on the calendar.
25–30°C (77–86°F) — insulated packaging
30–35°C (86–95°F) — double insulation with an ice pack
35–40°C (95–104°F) — double insulation with ice packs
Above 40°C (104°F) — the shipment may be held until conditions improve
We ship Monday to Thursday so nothing sits in a weekend warehouse, and a business delivery address gives chocolate a better chance than a doorstep in August. These measures reduce risk substantially. They do not eliminate it — in sustained heat, softening can still occur in transit.
Estimated Delivery Times
Every timeframe shown in the table, at checkout, or in a shipping confirmation is an estimate. Actual transit varies with destination, customs clearance and carrier operations, and peak periods and public holidays in either country affect it further. We dispatch promptly, but once a parcel is with the carrier we have little control over its progress, and we can't guarantee a delivery date.
Customs and Duties
Duties, import taxes and local handling fees are set by the destination country and are the responsibility of the recipient. They are not included in our shipping charge. Where a destination has a specific requirement, it's noted alongside that destination's rate.
If a carrier asks you for information to complete clearance, respond promptly. Parcels held for unanswered customs queries are usually returned or destroyed, and we can't recover them.
Orders With Pre-Order Items
An order that mixes in-stock and pre-order items ships complete, once every item has arrived. This avoids a second shipping charge. The expected date for a pre-order item appears on its product page and in your order confirmation, and you'll be emailed when the full order ships.
If you want the in-stock items sooner, place two separate orders. Pre-order items can't be expedited.
Damage, Melting and Delays
We don't refund or replace orders for melting, carrier delays, or customs-related outcomes. Our pricing reflects the protective packaging included in every order rather than a margin held back to cover weather.
If something arrives genuinely damaged, write to us within seven days with photographs of the parcel and its contents and we'll look at it.
Delivery to Specific Countries
For country-specific details on customs, transit and local requirements, see our pages for chocolate delivery to Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Singapore.

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.
