Weight: 62 grams

Cocoa Bean Origin: Piura, Peru

Notes: Peru’s rare Piura Blanco (white) cocoa beans are unlike any other. It is the only variety that thrives in the desert climate, where the dry conditions concentrate its fruity flavours. When I tasted its cocoa pulp it was delicate, creamy and mild. Roasting these cocoa beans requires precision. I’ve developed a technique that balances its natural citric acidity, reminiscent of starfruit, with a soft nuttiness of almond. This careful approach allows me to use less sugar, creating a chocolate that’s both healthier and bitter-free.

I invite you to savour this vibrant, nuanced and satisfying chocolate.

Tasting Notes: mango, starfruit, caramel and almond with a delicate chocolate flavour and low bitterness. 

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

(Made in a facility that uses wheat. Made in a nut-free facility.)
