The Arriba flavour is renowned over the world and is typical of the Ecuador Forastero cocoa bean. Arriba means "higher" and refers to the rare, fine flavour cocoa beans from plantations in the higher northern part of the country. Only the original Cacao National grown in North and North-West Ecuador carries the typical Arriba flavour. This unique origin milk chocolate surprises with its intense cocoa body, fruity acidity typical of the Arriba flavour, and even reveals subtle hints of flowers and herbs. The taste is well-rounded with plenty of creaminess and milk.

Peru, a country in western South America, has a wide expanse of flat land which is covered by the Amazon rainforest, extending to the east. Peru's tropical climate is ideal for growing cocoa and it is believed that the plant may have originated in the upper reaches of the Amazon rainforest. An unmistakable hint of fruit, with a slightly bitter cocoa taste, creates a surprising first impression for this Peruvian origin chocolate. The fresh, fruity note, accentuated by a bouquet of dried fruit, provides a sweeter, creamier taste than is typical of dark chocolate. Once tasted, never forgotten.

Wonderful chocolate with a very pleasing taste. As a representative of the UK educational charity 'The British Friends of Vanuatu',I can say that we are delighted to see this product on sale in Europe. The package imaging is a delight. You will wish to know that there is an unfortunate typo on this page above, where Vanuatu is spelled incorrectly in the Chocolate maker's comments section.
