Peruvian chocolate sells one of the finest chocolates of single source origin. These exquisitely flavored chocolates will carry you to relaxing waterfalls which give character to the Peruvian jungle.
Considered to be a gift from the gods, the cocoa tree was revered by the people of the Americas. The mystical properties believed to be contained in chocolate have been rediscovered through the advent of medical research.
Farming techniques have not changed much through the years in Peru, allowing you to enjoy the natural beauty of one of the truly godly treats.
The cocoa beans used in the production of our chocolates are not very well traveled. They come from small pieces of land farmed in remote areas of Peru. By making the chocolate in Peru, we are taking the concept of fair trade one step further. The factory was built in Peru because the international market refused to pay a fair price for cacao in 1998. Instead of waiting for conditions to improve, Peruvians worked to improve their situation. In addition to paying a fair price for cacao, the factory provides jobs to a region of Peru that needs sustainable alternatives to coca farming.
The beans are taken from the fields to the artisanal processing mill to begin their transformation into the product you enjoy. Enjoy the quality of our chocolates, knowing that you are supporting a socially and environmentally conscious company.
