The World's Top Dark Chocolate Bars 2024

International Chocolate Awards 2024 - Bronze

Origin: Piura region, Northwest Peru | Cacao: 70% | Bean Type: Piuran Criollo Hybrid

The Piura Select is a captivating journey into sun-soaked coastal terroir, crafted from rare cacao grown in the Piura region of Peru. Cacaosuyo’s name is synonymous with elevating regional cacao traditions to world-class standards, and this bar is no exception—meticulously farmed, fermented, dried, and made into chocolate at origin with full traceability and ethical sourcing.

Flavor Profile:
Expect an elegant, fruit-forward character reminiscent of fresh citrus and tropical orchard fruits. A gentle tartness mingles with sweet floral notes—think jasmine or honeysuckle—then transitions into a smooth finish with hints of almond and baked apples. The texture is silky and luxurious, with excellent melt and restrained bitterness from the 70% cacao content.

Why It's Special:

  • Regional distinction: Piura has long been celebrated for producing some of Peru’s most desirable and exotic cacao beans, and this bar showcases its terroir to perfection.

  • Transparent sourcing: Every bar can be traced back to the farms that grew the cacao, ensuring fair prices for farmers, sustainable agricultural methods, and environmental stewardship.

  • Minimalist craftsmanship: The bar contains only cacao mass, sugar, and cocoa butter—no lecithin, no vanilla, just pure, refined flavor.

Tasting Notes:

  • Bright mandarin peel

  • Tropical lychee

  • Subtle floral sweetness

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.
