McGuire Chocolate - Santa Maria 70%

Sourced from the lush landscapes of the Orinoco Region, Province of Meta, Ariari River Basin, Maria and Jose Hoyos bring you the world's best dark chocolate.

Their labor of love involves nurturing the heirloom genetic varietal, Arauquita, with roots tracing back to the Orinoco Region itself.

The front of this exquisite package showcases a captivating close-up of a cacao pod, a fruit that can only thrive within 20 degrees of the equator, where it attains its finest quality.

The artistic touch on this packaging is the work of Kristofer Parley, a talented artist hailing from Victoria. He specializes in the delicate mediums of watercolors and ink. Our encounter with Kristofer took place during our inaugural year in St. Andrews, where he was a resident artist for the KIRA Artist Residency program.

Keep in a cool, dry place, away from direct light and strong odours. Store at maximum
18 ° C in its original packaging

Our chocolate makers proudly refrain from using any artificial stabilizers or preservatives in their products, making their creations more temperature-sensitive compared to other premium chocolates.

To ensure the optimal taste experience, it's advisable to store our chocolates in a cool, dry place where the temperature hovers between 16°C and 18°C. Please refrain from refrigerating our chocolates, as this may cause sugar crystallization due to increased humidity, altering their texture and flavor.

On the contrary, if stored in excessively high temperatures, cocoa butter may separate and form a white film on the chocolate's surface. This loss of cocoa butter can lead to the chocolate drying out and, consequently, a potential alteration in flavor. Your mindful storage practices will help preserve the integrity of our delectable chocolates.
