Peru 100%

A dark chocolate crafted 100% Peruvian selected cacao beans, Fortunato Nº 4 Pure Nacional

Characterised by its delicate body with notes of fruit, flowers and nuts, low bitterness and acidity without astringency.

In 1916, a plague devastated the entire population of Puro Nacional in Ecuador. For several years this variety was considered lost, until Dan Pearson and Brian Horsely discovered cacao trees of this variety in small isolated farms in Marañón. This remote horseshoe-shaped gorge creates a unique microclimate, where trees grow at an altitude of between 1,000 and 1,250 metres.

GENETICS:

Fortunato Nº 4 Pure Nacional with a rare mixture of 40% white beans. Genetic testing proved that the cacao trees used are native to Peru, not exotic introductions.
