Origin & Craftsmanship
Piura Select is one of Cacaosuyo’s most celebrated bars, made with rare Piura cacao from northern Peru — prized for its light, floral, and fruit-forward flavor. This bar is crafted with meticulous bean-to-bar precision, using careful fermentation and gentle roasting to preserve the delicate nuances of the cacao and highlight its unique terroir.

Flavor Profile
At 70% cacao, this bar is both refined and vibrant. Expect bright citrus and tropical fruit notes up front, followed by subtle hints of honey, raisins, and vanilla-like sweetness, all wrapped in a silky cocoa finish. The result is a balanced chocolate that feels bright, expressive, and elegantly layered.

Award & Recognition
In 2025, the Piura Select 70% bar was named “Best Dark Chocolate in the World” at the International Chocolate Awards — a prestigious distinction that underscores its exceptional quality and flavour complexity.

Tasting & Pairing Guide

Let a square melt slowly on your tongue: the initial fruity brightness blooms first, then transitions into gentle sweetness and a mellow cocoa finish. Pair this bar with a light, fruit-forward red wine such as Pinot Noir or Gamay to mirror its fruit notes. For a non-alcoholic option, a floral herbal tea (like hibiscus or rooibos) complements the bar’s vibrant character. Snacks like dried apricots, toasted almonds, or citrus-zested shortbread enhance both texture and flavour interplay.

Summary

The Piura Select 70% bar by Cacaosuyo is an exceptional expression of Peruvian cacao — award-winning, terroir-rich, and beautifully balanced. Its bright fruitiness, nuanced sweetness, and silky finish make it a standout choice for dark-chocolate lovers who appreciate depth and elegance in every bite.

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.
