Origin & Craftsmanship
This bar comes from Cacao Hunters, crafted using heirloom cacao grown by the Arhuaco people — an Indigenous community in Colombia’s Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. Cacao Hunters partners directly with Indigenous and small-holder farmers to highlight rare genetics and ancestral growing practices. Their bean-to-bar techniques preserve terroir and subtle flavour nuances while supporting community-centered cacao production.

Flavor Profile
At 72% cacao, this chocolate is rich and expressive without being overpowering. It opens with warm berry and red fruit notes, followed by layered brown sugar and light spice, and finishes with a smooth, lingering cocoa richness. The balance between fruit brightness and cocoa depth makes it both vibrant and soulful — a true reflection of its origin.

Tasting & Pairing Guide

Let a square melt slowly on your tongue so the fruit-driven top notes emerge first, then allow the warm cocoa and gentle spice elements to develop.
Pair this bar with a medium-bodied red wine like Pinot Noir or a Spanish Garnacha to accentuate its fruit and cocoa interplay. For a non-alcoholic option, try a floral oolong tea or a softly roasted black tea to complement the chocolate’s layered complexity. For texture contrast, enjoy with dried cherries or toasted hazelnuts — both amplify the bar’s fruit and cocoa balance.

Summary

The Arhuacos 72% bar by Cacao Hunters is a beautifully balanced, origin-driven chocolate that highlights Indigenous Colombian cacao with expressive fruit, warm spice, and deep cocoa richness. It’s an elegant choice for anyone who enjoys nuanced dark chocolate with a sense of place.

No lecithins. No vanilla. Just cacao and craftsmanship.

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.
