Origin

Peru -This rare Heirloom Chuncho variety is grown by Leoncio Carrazco at his farm "Fundo de Playa". This is the upper limit of cacao's altitude range, up at 1,650 meters (5400 ft) above sea level in the Andes Mountains. Huayopata yields an exceptionally small harvest, we receive only one to two sacks each year, making our supply of pure Huayopata extremely limited. 

Process

The Cacao is meticulously fermented and dried by our friend David Condori at his center ALM Cacao in Quillabamba.

Flavor 

Chuncho cacao generally has a high cocoa butter content, and this cacao grown at higher altitudes has even more fat to contend with the colder weather. The resulting flavors and textures creates an extremely smooth and silky cacao drink with notes of toffee, almond, and dried apricot.
