Origin & Craftsmanship
This single-origin bar from Cacao Hunters highlights heirloom cacao beans grown by Indigenous communities in the Arauca region of Colombia’s Eastern Plains. Cacao Hunters works closely with local growers to preserve rare genetic varieties and bring their distinct terroirs to life through expert bean-to-bar chocolate making.

Flavor Profile
At 70% cacao, the Arauca bar is both approachable and nuanced. It opens with rich cocoa depth, supported by red berry fruitiness, gentle caramel sweetness, and a touch of spice. The finish is clean and lingering, with layered fruit and cocoa richness that evolves as it melts.

Tasting & Pairing Guide

Let a piece melt slowly on your tongue to allow the chocolate’s fruit-forward top notes to emerge, then savour the deeper caramel and cocoa layers. Pair this bar with a medium-bodied red wine such as Pinot Noir or Merlot to echo the berry and cocoa interplay. For a non-alcoholic option, choose a floral black tea or a nutty oolong to highlight its complexity. To add texture, enjoy alongside toasted almonds or dried cherries, which enhance the bar’s fruit and cocoa character.

Summary

The Arauca 70% bar from Cacao Hunters is a beautifully balanced dark chocolate that celebrates the unique flavours of Colombian heirloom cacao. Its harmonious blend of fruit, cocoa depth, and nuance makes it an excellent choice for both dark chocolate enthusiasts and anyone seeking an origin-driven tasting experience.

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.
