Origin & Craftsmanship
This bar is part of Cacao Hunters’ celebrated lineup of terroir-focused chocolates, made with cacao from the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta region of Colombia. Cacao Hunters works directly with local Indigenous and small-holder growers to revitalize heirloom genetics and highlight true origin expression. Their bean-to-bar process preserves delicate flavor notes through careful fermentation, roasting, and refining.

Flavor Profile
At 64% cacao, this bar offers a beautifully balanced dark chocolate experience. It opens with bright red fruit and citrus notes, followed by mellow caramel and floral undertones. Rounded cocoa depth and a smooth finish give complexity without overwhelming bitterness, making it both expressive and approachable.

Tasting & Pairing Guide

Let a square melt slowly on your tongue — first enjoy the fruit-bright top notes, then let the cocoa and caramel layers unfold, finishing with warm floral echoes.
Pair this bar with a medium-bodied red wine like Pinot Noir or Gamay to echo its fruity nuances. For a non-alcoholic option, a fragrant jasmine or oolong tea complements the floral and citrus character. To add textural contrast, enjoy with dried apricots or toasted almonds — both enhance the flavour profile and create a satisfying tasting journey.

Summary

The Sierra Nevada 64% bar from Cacao Hunters is an elegant, origin-driven chocolate that blends fruit brightness with cocoa depth in a seamless way. It’s a refined choice for anyone who appreciates nuanced, terroir-rich dark chocolate that’s expressive yet smooth.

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.
