Monsoon Peru Ucayali Dark Chocolate Bar, 72%
In the Monsoon Peru Ucayali Dark Chocolate Bar, bright fruits and luscious cream mellow to soothing cedar and sharp pepper.
Ucayali River Cacao is a central fermentary that works with nearly 400 cocoa farmers along the Ucayali River outside of the Peruvian city of Pucallpa. This Ucayali River cacao represents a shift from the dominant coca (cocaine) trade. The region has long and complex history of narco-trafficking and the presence of the Shining Path militant group. Ucayali River Cacao has partnered with USAID and Alianza Peru to offer a premium for wet cacao, giving local farmers access to an alternate market to cocaine.
Tasting Notes: Fresh peaches & cream, cedar, black pepper
