Foundry Chocolate - Ucayali River, Peru 70%

$0
$13

Commended in the 2019 Academy of Chocolate International awards.

Dotted along the banks of Peru’s Ucayali River, you’ll find family-owned farms growing some of the world’s best cacao. From this simple ingredient, we create a sprightly chocolate alive with complex bouquets of spring blossoms.

While Ucayali River, Peru evokes flavours of floral bouquets, cinnamon and cardamom it’s simply the cacao’s origin talking – plus organic cane sugar and our obsession for preserving the flavours of provenance. And because your senses are unique, you may discover characters and aromas others may not – that’s the magic of Foundry Chocolate.

Origin:
Ucayali River Cacao is a central fermentary that works with cacao farmers along the Ucayali River – one of the headwaters of the Amazon River - outside of the Peruvian city of Pucallpa. The region has historically been afflicted with unrest from narco-trafficking and the presence of the Shining Path militant group. Ucayali River Cacao has partnered with USAID and Alianza Peru to give local farmers access to an alternate market to cocaine. Working with around 400 smallholder farmers with one to three hectares of land each, Ucayali River Cacao buys wet cacao at a premium price, then centrally ferments and dries it. Credit: Meridian Cacao
