F.P. Journe Invenit et Fecit Edition – 70% Dark Chocolate Anise & Cardamom
The fruitiness and freshness of the Gran Blanco from the Alto Piura valley combine perfectly with anise and cardamom to create a symphony of colours from the creeks of Marseille, the azure of the Mediterranean and the terraces of the old port. A sparkling evocation of François-Paul Journe’s native land, with typical menthol and lemon notes.
Description
Regarded as one of the birthplaces of original wild cacao, Peru has preserved a rich heritage of native varieties, including the famous white beans called Gran Blanco.
Rediscovered in 2008, and since then considered as one of the noblest in the world, this white cacao is grown in the Alto Piura Valley in the northwest of the country.
Our Gran Blanco beans are grown by a cooperative of small producers, according to the strictest rules of sustainable development and fair trade. Located at less than 800 metres above sea level, the plantations are exclusively worked using organic farming methods.
