Quillabamba 100 (Peru) – extra fine

This 100% dark chocolate bar from Peru, named Quillabamba 100, is made from a rare cocoa grown in the small Andean town of Quillabamba. Located at 1200 meters above sea level, it lies in the foothills of the Andes, in the South of Peru, a few kilometers from Machu Picchu.

It lies on the banks of the Urubamba river, on the edge of the sacred valley of the Incas. Its forests harbour a rare indigenous variety of cocoa: the Chuncho.

Cultivated by a hundred families in the strict respect of the organic agriculture and the agroforestry, at an average altitude of 1200 metres, this precious cocoa comes in the form of very small beans with delicate and concentrated aromas.

Harvested between January and April, it benefits from a gentle fermentation in wooden crates and natural sun-drying under the supervision of Peruvian agronomists.

A creamy and expressive Cru de Terroir, Quillabamba 100 captures the pure essence of Chuncho cacao. ORFÈVE’s 100% dark chocolate from Peru in its most refined expression.
