Story 

Kankel is committed to terroir. Going beyond soil, climate and topography, collective wisdom results from the work of people with the natural environment which give those original products their distinctive characteristics. The goal is to bring you on a memorable trip to the places of their origin. The essence of each territory is reflected in cacao beans that are transformed, without any unnecessary intervention, into a bar in which the variety and the elaboration process are manifested without artifice. 

Fresh and acidic, with notes of ripe mango coexisting with wooden aromas and spice flavours. India has something that survives on contrasts and transcendence. The British East India Company was a pioneer in bringing the first cacao from Indonesia to India. There, the small cooperatives of hard-working farmers developed agriculture which both fascinates and amazes in equal parts.

This very fragrant chocolate is made with beans from Peru, more precisely from the region around the Ucayali River. This is a region that has been awarded several times at the International Chocolate Awards, but which remains little known to the general public because, despite the quality of these beans, production is still very limited today. The reason is that the coca plantation there eclipsed that of the cocoa for several years. Working with USAID and Alianza Peru to provide a more profitable alternative to the cocaine market, operator Ucayali River Cacao collects and processes quality beans from a collective of nearly 400 smallholder farmers.  

This line of chocolate products reflects Chaleur's concern for quality and transparency at all stages of production. Their particular touch lies in their choice to bet on the typical aromatic profile of a given terroir.   

Note that nothing has been added to the chocolate and that the fruit flavours you will taste come directly from the bean.
