Peru, the cradle of wild native cacao, preserves an exceptional heritage of indigenous varieties. This selection pays tribute to that richness, bringing together two remarkable Peruvian crus, Alto Piura and Quillabamba, alongside L’Esterre, born of the unique volcanic terroir of the island of Grenada.
It showcases Gran Blanco from Alto Piura, in north-western Peru, celebrated for its freshness and aromatic finesse, alongside Chuncho Urushaia from Quillabamba, near Machu Picchu, a rare variety offering delicate and complex notes.
Completing these two Peruvian origins, L’Esterre 70 is cultivated on the fertile volcanic soils of Grenada. From a historic family-owned plantation, this cacao reveals a deep aromatic profile, with notes that are at once fruity, floral and delicately spiced.
Rediscovered or preserved through the patient efforts of cooperatives and farming families, these cacaos are grown in harmony with natural ecosystems, following rigorous agroforestry practices. Fragile, low-yielding and demanding, they give rise to rare chocolates that express the full diversity of the world’s finest cacao terroirs.
This 70% dark chocolate box invites a unique sensory journey, between the purity of Peru and the intensity of the Caribbean. It embodies ORFÈVE’s vision: to reveal, with precision and uncompromising standards, the singular character of each origin through a fully mastered bean-to-bar craft.
