PERU UCAYALI 72% COCOA

Description

made from beans from the Ucayali River region in Peru. This region, which has won several awards at the International Chocolate Awards, is still little-known to the general public due to its limited production.

Cacao farming has long been overshadowed by coca farming, but through our partnership with USAID and Alianza Peru, we are supporting the transition to more sustainable and profitable cocoa farming. Ucayali River Cacao works with a collective of nearly 400 smallholder farmers to collect and process these high-quality beans.
