Valle del Chanka Dark 72% is a dark chocolate made from cacao sourced in Peru’s Chanka region, known for aromatic varieties that produce a clearly defined and layered flavor profile. The bar follows a bean-to-bar process, meaning every step—from fermentation and drying of the beans to conching and tempering—is handled by the producer to preserve the natural character of the cacao.
Its taste combines deep cocoa notes with subtle fruitiness, a gentle earthy nuance, and dry aromas reminiscent of nuts and dark fruits. The texture is smooth and uniform, allowing for a clean, long finish with a pleasant bitterness typical of 72% cacao.
This chocolate has received international recognition, underscoring the precision and quality behind its production. It appeals to consumers who appreciate an authentic, terroir-driven profile and who value a clear connection between the origin of the beans and the final flavor.
