Maker Comments | Thought to be extinct for 100 years, pure Nacional cacao was discovered by Dan Pearson in late 2007 growing in the Marañón Canyon of Northern Peru. The pods are unique in that they contain 40% white beans which results in much lighter chocolate. Pearson and his team live with the farmers, pay premium prices and ferment and dry the beans. Now, more children in the Marañón Canyon are going to school and choosing to stay in the area as adults to grow cacao because they are finally getting a fair price for their work. We have strived for a balanced chocolate from these beans, retaining citrus notes while supporting a warm mocha finish. |
