The brown outer case is crafted from a biomaterial known as Shiringa, a tree native to the Amazon. This natural latex is extracted through an ancestral practice that allows the tree to remain alive and regenerate.
Inside this case you will find a total of six bars, two bars per Theobroma, wrapped in handmade paper, either recycled or made from vegetable fibres.
Our choice of material reflects our commitment to staying close to the natural ecosystem of Theobromas while supporting the economic development of the communities that protect these ecosystems.
CACAO
We exclusively use the native cacao variety known as Chuncho from the Cusco region. Renowned for its complex an unique flavor, it represents one of the finest expressions of indigenous Peruvian Cacao. Our offerings range from a 100% cacao bar sweetened with its own pulp and nibs to a 77% bar with panela (raw cane sugar), providing a unique chocolate experience.
CACAO 100
Finished with cacao nibs macerated in pulp.
Tasting notes:
Passion Fruit, Tangerine, Orange Blossom.
CACAO 77
Finding balance between panela and cacao pulp.

MACAMBO
Treating macambo post-harvest in the same manner as chocolate has proven to be both challenging and rewarding. Fermenting the seeds has redefined the traditional perception of macambo in the Peruvian jungle, resulting in our Macambo 74 bar.
MACAMBO 74
Fermented nibs in fresh pulp.
Tasting notes:
Peanut Butter, Cappuccino, Nuts.
MACAMBO & CACAO
The creaminess of macambo meets the complexity of Chuncho cacao.
Tasting notes:
Herbal, Almonds, Nuts.
COPOAZU
Combining copoazú, with its butter and pulp, provides a comprehensive understanding of this lesser-known Theobroma when minimally processed. When mixed with macambo, it produces a unique flavor profile with distinctive earth notes.
