SOUL 83% Peru Dark Chocolate
$6.00
ABOUT THE CHOCOLATE:
Ucayali River Cacao is located near Pucallpa, Ucayali, Peru. Until recently this area has not been known for fine cacao, but due to the efforts of USAID and Alianza Cacao of Peru there are farmers that are abandoning coca production for Cacao, Coffee and Oil Palm. Back in 2017, we were invited down to visit Ucayali River Cacao, and were able to see first hand how much hard work that goes into crafting their specialty cacao.
TASTES LIKE:
As the chocolate melts on your tongue, flavours of almond emerge first and foremost, followed by black tea and spice. At 83% we are really impressed at the balance of flavours and low astringency.
