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.

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.
