Ranked in the Best Chocolate of 2024

Origin & Craft
Crafted by SLOK, this single-origin bar is made with cacao from Piura, located on Peru’s northern desert coast. Unlike jungle-grown cacao, Piura’s dry, arid landscape shapes a distinct genetic profile: the beans are a mix of native Criollo types and typically contain around 30% white beans.
With fewer natural predators, the trees develop lower tannin levels, resulting in a cacao known historically—since the 15th and 16th centuries—as a source of premium quality. This environment gives the chocolate an uncommon lightness and delicacy.

Flavor Profile
Bright and elegant. Citrus notes lead with freshness, followed by soft orange blossom. A subtle, lingering floral finish adds finesse and balance.

Tasting & Pairing Guide
Allow the chocolate to melt slowly to appreciate its gentle progression and refined texture. Best enjoyed on its own, or paired with water or lightly brewed tea to preserve its aromatic clarity.

Summary
A delicate 71% dark chocolate that highlights the unique character of Piura cacao. Light, floral, and citrus-driven, this bar offers a refined expression shaped by Peru’s desert terroir.

Summary
A refined 72% dark chocolate made with rare Chuncho cacao from Urubamba. Mellow fruit sweetness, floral aromatics, and a rounded profile define this elegant expression of Peruvian cacao.
