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.

Nos chocolatiers s'abstiennent fièrement d'utiliser des stabilisateurs ou des conservateurs artificiels dans leurs produits, ce qui rend leurs créations plus sensibles à la température par rapport aux autres chocolats haut de gamme.

Pour garantir une expérience gustative optimale, il est conseillé de conserver nos chocolats dans un endroit frais et sec où la température oscille entre 16°C et 18°C. Nous vous conseillons de ne pas réfrigérer nos chocolats, car cela pourrait provoquer une cristallisation du sucre due à l'augmentation de l'humidité, altérant ainsi leur texture et leur saveur.

Au contraire, s'il est conservé à des températures trop élevées, le beurre de cacao peut se séparer et former un film blanc à la surface du chocolat. Cette perte de beurre de cacao peut entraîner un dessèchement du chocolat et, par conséquent, une altération potentielle de sa saveur. Vos pratiques de conservation réfléchies contribueront à préserver l'intégrité de nos délicieux chocolats.
