Chuncho Chocolate 70%

This chocolate is made from unique chuncho cocoa and comes from Peru.

At this the chocolate has a soft and fruity taste. You can taste the flavours of orange, lemon, banana and other tropical fruits. This is all purely due to the growing environment of the cacao and nothing has been added to this chocolate.

This cacao is grown in the beautiful Quelloúno Valley on very old cacao trees, some of which are over 100 years old. Here, the unique chuncho cacao variety is preserved because the grandfather of this farm, Feliciano, refused to replace the trees with more productive and hardy hybrids. We are eternally grateful to him and his family for continuing to care for this beautiful land and the cacao .

Our agro-ecological farming

Agro-ecological farming goes beyond organic principles by creating a healthy living environment for plants and animals. Without pesticides and herbicides, of course. Large trees act as corridors for monkeys and squirrels to move around and provide shelter and food for birds. The presence of a large number of native plants and trees helps to maintain the jungle forest with healthy soil where cacao and other fruit trees can grow.

With the proceeds from the sale of the chocolate, old cultivated or abandoned plots in the region are replanted with native trees and, of course, special cacao seedlings. This kind of natural reforestation is essential to ensure healthy and resilient forests in the future.
