Luisa Abram - Dark chocolate 70% with Cupuaçu - BRAZIL - 80g
Bean-to-Bar
This chocolate is made by Luisa Abram with extremely rare cacao that grows wild in the Amazon rainforest. It is harvested by riverside communities that preserve the fruit’s native trees. Each river represents a region with a different flavor profile.
Subtle citrus notes in this 70% dark chocolate gracefully combine with the zest of crystallized cupuaçu – a rare tropical fruit related to cacao. They naturally complement one another... as if made for each other.
Cacao mass (70% Brazil), cacao butter, cane sugar, candied cupuaçu
