Limited Edition
Cusco 65%

Tropical fruity Inca chocolate

Cusco 65%

Cusco Heights, Peru

Flavours of pineapple and melon merge into a tropical fruity chocolate made from the rarest Chuncho cacao.

 

One of Peru’s most valued cacao varieties, “Chuncho”, grows in the heights of Machu Picchu. Chuncho is an ancient cacao, confirmed by researchers as a distinct genetic group and considered as the 'father' of all fine cacao. Many Peruvian cacaos are called “Chuncho,” but we protect and regrow the original “Chuncho” variety. Your purchase of this exclusive chocolate supports the preservation of this valuable cacao and its guardian, the mighty condor, which was sacred to the Incas and today urgently needs support to continue to survive in the wild.

 A Journey of this BeaN

Behind the Bean
Chuncho Urusayhua

Chuncho is an ancient cacao, confirmed by researchers as a distinct genetic group and considered as the 'father' of all fine cacao. The cacao fruits are small and so are the beans – but they are very solid and known for their high fat content. Our 100% Cusco Chuncho bar is a real rarity, since Chuncho cacao has never been used in a pure selection before.

Beneath the Heights of
Machu Picchu

...the astonishing citadel built by the ancient Incas, our conservation journey led us to one of the Inca’s sacred animals that requires immediate support for continued survival in the wild: the mighty condor, the largest flying bird in the world.

Chocolate macarons are such a tasty treat, especially if you use our Cusco 100% – a pure enjoyment. A real love at first bite that cracks through the crisp outer layer before you sink your teeth into that chocolaty goodness in the middle.
