Castronovo Awajun Women, Amazonas, Peru 70% Dark Chocolate (Organic)

Weight: 62 grams

Cocoa Bean Origin: Amazon Rainforest, Peru

Notes: in 2019, Denise was invited to Peru to represent U.S. chocolate makers at the Cacao and Chocolate Salon in Lima. She learned about a cacao cooperative of indigenous women from the Awajún and Huambisa communities in the Amazon rainforest. Traditionally, men provide for their families by selling their hunt and fish catch for income and women take care of farming, cooking, and the children. Now, with the commercialization of cacao, women are rapidly becoming empowered and the breadwinners for the family. Government-funded cacao projects are helping them succeed. Quality cacao has enabled new schools and health centers, better education and higher income. Your purchase helps facilitate their progress and protects the Amazon rainforest.

Tasting Notes: enjoy the rich chocolate flavours from this rainforest cacao, laced with natural sweet flavours of almond, vanilla and caramel.

Ingredients: organic cocoa beans, organic cane sugar, organic cocoa butter
