“One of our most unexpected bars and which has found its aficionados. Sheep's milk intensifies the fruity tang of our Gran Nativo bean. A little farm twist just for fun.

A WORD FROM THE CREATORS

This GRAN NATIVO sheep's milk chocolate is crafted with cocoa beans from Piura, Peru.

The tangy, fruity aromas of these beans are a delight when paired with sheep's milk, resulting in a finish that is both tangy and very creamy. Its slightly firmer texture compared to cow's milk chocolate is an intriguing aspect to savor. Since its inception, this chocolate has been one of the unexpected creations we proudly offer. It has also garnered a dedicated following of enthusiasts who visit PLAQ specifically for it.

This bar creation falls into the category we call "dark milk" chocolates. As we like to say at PLAQ, it's dark chocolate with a touch of milk.

White grape, apricot and passion fruit. Caramelized dried fruits. Powerful and creamy tangy milky finish.

4 INGREDIENTS. NOTHING ELSE.
Organic Gran Nativo cocoa beans from Piura Peru (50%), organic unrefined cane sugar from the state of São Paulo Brazil (28%), sheep's milk powder (38% fat) from Castile and Leon Spain (12 %), natural organic cocoa butter and traceable origin varying according to harvest (10%). Without lecithin.

It is said that Peruvian cocoa is one of the finest in the world, Gran Nativo and its range of incomparable aromas are proof of this.

It is in the Piura region, derived from the word “Piruha” which means “abundance”, that this cocoa develops all its flavors. A bounty of so-called white beans, among the rarest and finest in the world, which give Gran Nativo its characteristic taste: fruity, sweet, without bitterness. Its real name is Piura Blanco. We have chosen to keep the name "Gran Nativo", in memory of our partner Luis Mancini. He was the first to select these exceptional beans from the Norandino cooperative and to import them to Europe. We had the chance to meet him and visit the cooperative in 2019.

Today, Original Beans and Cacao Latitude have taken over in the villages of La Pareja and Loma Larga. The two villages are part of the Andanjo Community, as is the 2,800 hectars dry forest from which the beans come.

Gran Nativo cocoa takes root among fruit trees in an ecosystem made up of lemon and mango trees. This cocoa owes its particular aromas to the dry and arid climate of the Amazon rainforest and the high irrigation of the Piura region, also known for its rice fields. Gran Nativo offers a unique and typical aroma: sweet and long on the palate, with hints of lemon and passion fruit.

Each bag delivered is individually transformed into chocolate in the Bean To Bar philosophy, in a “micro batch”, in order to stay as close as possible to the aromatic specificities which can vary from one batch to another.

The beans are tasted, sorted, roasted at low temperature, mixed with unrefined cane sugar, stone-conched for 3 days before ripening for 3 weeks. The milk chocolate thus obtained will then be melted to be molded and packaged in bars.
