Origin & Craftsmanship
This bar showcases heirloom cacao sourced from Tumaco — often referred to as the "Pearl of the Pacific" region of Colombia for its lush, vibrant rainforest terroir. Cacao Hunters works closely with local communities to revive native cacao genetics and bring them to global recognition through bean-to-bar craftsmanship. 

Flavor Profile
Expect a complex, layered dark chocolate experience with nuanced notes of wood, spices, nuts, and caramel — an elegant reflection of its rainforest origins. 

Accolades & Awards

  • Awarded Bronze at the International Chocolate Awards in 2019, the Perla Negra bar demonstrates both refined flavor and cultural storytelling. 

Tasting & Pairing Guide

Let the Perla Negra bar melt slowly on your tongue to experience its fragrant layers of warm wood, subtle spice, nutty richness, and velvety caramel sweetness. Pair it with a medium-bodied red wine like a Merlot or Malbec to enhance its spice and orchard fruit undertones. For a non-alcoholic choice, a smoky oolong or aged black tea complements the roasted wood tones beautifully. Enjoy it alongside toasted pecans or a nutty biscotti to mirror the chocolate’s spiced sweetness.

Summary

The Perla Negra 74% Dark Chocolate bar is a refined expression of Colombia’s Pacific terroir — one that harmonizes ancient cacao genetics with contemporary craftsmanship. Its richly aromatic profile, minimalist ingredient list, and award-winning pedigree make it a standout for discerning chocolate lovers who value both taste and provenance.

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.
