Aroma profile: juniper, wild berries, herbs and spices. 75% Chuncho cocoa from Peru Made in South Tyrol Vegan & Organic
Dark organic chocolate 75% made from Chuncho cacao (Peru), flavoured with EDELSCHWARZ Organic Gin.
This chocolate has a complex aroma profile: juniper, wild berries, herbs and spices.
We roast the cocoa, macerate the cocoa curd for several days with 20% EDELSCHWARZ Organic Gin and then dry the cocoa curd. Alcohol and water evaporate completely and the cocoa absorbs the aromas from the gin. Edelschwarz Organic Gin is made from 17 Alpine botanicals, including: Juniper, Edelweiss, Cranberry, Currant and various herbs.
The cocoa variety 'Chuncho' is one of the oldest cocoa varieties that is only rarely found. The Maya already used this type of cocoa. The chocolate made from the original Chuncho cocoa is multi-layered, aromatic and melts delicately. Not far from the fascinating Inca site of Machu Picchu, the Chuncho cocoas grow in the Urubamba Valley, defying the passage of time. Cocoa scientists believe that the ancient chunchos are among the most aromatic cocoas in the world. A successful fair trade campaign allows more cocoa to be bought directly from the farmers at fair prices. This fine flavoured cocoa is produced organically and fairly by 40 smallholder families in Peru.
