Ucayali

Experience the distinctive flavors of single origin chocolate crafted from cacao sourced from the jungles of Peru. Named after the Ucayali River, one of the major headwaters of the Amazon, this award-winning chocolate showcases the flavors of some of the most remarkable cacao in Peru.

We also freshly press the cocoa butter for this bar from the same Ucayali beans we use to make the chocolate, resulting in an intense single origin flavor and exceptional smoothness. We’re one of the only chocolate makers in North America to press our own cocoa butter, and it makes a world of difference in flavor.

Tasting notes: This extremely well balanced bar is floral and herbal with notes of lemon verbena and fig.

Ingredients: Cacao Beans, Organic Sugar, Fresh Pressed Cocoa Butter

How We Source Our Ucayali Cacao

Farmers living along the shores of the Ucayali River grow several varieties of fine flavor cacao. They bring the cacao on boats to our partners at Ucayali River Cacao, where the beans are expertly fermented and dried at their new facility. This investment in post-harvest processing helps preserve the exceptional quality and flavor of every harvest while creating new economic opportunities for farming families throughout the region. We've personally visited the fermentation and drying facility and have met many of the farmers.
