UCAYALI RIVER 84%

Ucayali River cocoa produces a woody, floral, delicately spiced and cocoa-flavored chocolate.

Its creamy floral and fig notes give way to fresh woody anise notes (cedar notes). The finish is cocoa-like.

It is a chocolate with complex and nuanced aromas.

This is our third cocoa bean from Peru (along with Chuncho and Gran Nativo) which expresses a new terroir, on the banks of the Ucayali River in the Amazon region.

Creamy flowers and figs. Then fresh aniseed and woody notes, slightly spicy (cedar), which blend with a cocoa finish.

A complex and nuanced chocolate.

2 INGREDIENTS. NOTHING ELSE.

UCAYALI RIVER cocoa beans from Peru (84%) and unrefined organic cane sugar from the state of São Paulo, Brazil (16%). Lecithin-free. No added cocoa butter.

This chocolate is vegan.

Ucayali River Cacao comes from Pucallpa in the Ucayali region of Peru, once little known for the quality of its cacao.

Thanks to USAID and the Alianza Cacao of Peru, farmers in this region have gradually abandoned coca cultivation in favor of legal crops such as cocoa, coffee, and palm oil.

Ucayali River Cacao works directly with nearly 400 smallholder farmers, the majority of whom are located within 30 minutes of each other. By handling crucial steps like fermentation and drying, URC allows farmers to focus on improving their harvests and increasing their yields. This support not only contributes to the production of quality cacao, but also contributes to the sustainable economic development of farmers in the Ucayali region.
