Farming details:

These beans come from the valleys of the Marañon river, accepted by many as one of the earliest varieties from which many of the modern varieties are derived from. This valley is in the North Amazonian mountains, between the Cajamarca and Amazonas departments.

The Marañon cacao is very unique because it has survived the test of time…because of the steep valley walls of the Marañon canyon, the cacao in its valley has been isolated from other genetic influences for many centuries.

Shipping Notes:

Please be advised of the following natural characteristics of our chocolate products:

  • Breakage During Shipping: Due to the nature of our chocolate, pieces may arrive broken. This does not affect quality or flavor, as the chocolate is intended to be broken down for use in drinking chocolate or scaling.

  • Appearance of White Spots: You may notice white spots or streaks on the surface of the chocolate. This is a natural occurrence known as cocoa butter bloom. It is entirely harmless, does not indicate spoilage, and has no effect on the taste or usability of the product.

  • Texture & Finish: Our chocolate is intentionally left untempered. Unlike tempered chocolate bars that have a glossy shine and firm snap, untempered chocolate breaks apart more easily—making it ideal for preparation as drinking chocolate.

By purchasing, you acknowledge and accept these natural variations as part of the artisanal qualities of our chocolate.
