This bar is 100% cacao, nothing added but cocoa butter, from a single farm, Demetrio Huaccre's in Villa Virgen, Cusco, in the Peruvian Andes. The beans come from one cacao tree that is more than a hundred years old and still gives around 250 kg of fruit a year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo sugar means nothing hides the cacao. Expect lily, plum and grapefruit, a bright acidity and a long finish. Let a small piece melt slowly on your tongue rather than biting it.

A 2014 visit to a cacao farm in northern Peru, and the pride of the farmers they met there, changed the course of their lives. In 2016 they began making chocolate in Montréal, working directly with Peruvian growers to turn rare native cacao into small-batch, bean-to-bar chocolate. Their very first bars won gold at London's Academy of Chocolate Awards. The name Qantu (say \"KAN-too\") comes from the Quechua word for the national flower of Peru and Bolivia, a symbol of unity and hospitality.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Qantu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68054658187508,"sku":null,"price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0656\/7198\/7444\/files\/PRODUCT-4228.jpg?v=1793908614","url":"https:\/\/thedaintypearco.com\/products\/qantu-premiere-fois-100-dark-chocolate-bar-demetrio-huaccre-50g","provider":"The Dainty Pear Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
