Single Origin Dark Chocolate from Peru
This is a single-origin dark chocolate made from cacao grown by the Asháninka communities in Peru’s Ene River valley. Produced bean-to-bar in Cornwall, it keeps the character of the origin intact, with minimal intervention.
The composition is deliberately simple — just cocoa beans and unrefined raw sugar — allowing the cacao to carry the flavour. The profile is bright and layered rather than heavy: green and red fruits up front, moving through apple peel and raspberry, and finishing with a soft burnt sugar caramel note.
Sourcing is direct, via a partnership with the rainforest charity Cool Earth. The cacao supports indigenous land stewardship while maintaining traceability from forest to finished bar.
- Single-origin Peruvian cacao with a distinctly fruit-led profile
- Bean-to-bar production in Cornwall, preserving origin character
- Direct trade with Asháninka growers via Cool Earth Two-ingredient composition — no additives, no lecithin
- Balanced 72%: structured but not overly bitter
The Asháninka cacao sits in a lighter roast spectrum, which keeps acidity and fruit clarity intact rather than pushing bitterness. The long conching and ageing process (over several days) refines texture and rounds the sharper edges, giving a clean melt and a controlled finish.
