Club des explorateurs #201 : PÉROU

Les paysages du Pérou, qui s'étendent de la forêt amazonienne à la côte Pacifique en passant par les hauts plateaux andins, créent des conditions uniques pour la culture de certains des meilleurs cacaos du monde. Historiquement, le Pérou est considéré comme l'un des berceaux du cacao, les civilisations anciennes ayant incorporé le cacao dans leurs rituels et leur vie quotidienne. Le pays est devenu mondialement célèbre pour ses variétés ancestrales génétiquement distinctes. Ces fèves sont souvent caractérisées par des notes florales et fruitées, une acidité plus élevée et une faible amertume. L'importance culturelle du cacao au Pérou s'étend au-delà de sa valeur économique ; il reste un symbole de patrimoine et de tradition.

PUMP STREET DON RAMON'S FARM 72%

Pays du producteur : England
Cacao : Direct Source, Single Estate
Poids : 70 g

This limited edition bar comes from La Pareja, a 120-year-old single village estate owned by cacao producer Don Ramon. Dedicated to conserving the rare Peruvian white cacao variety, Piura Blanco, Don Ramon has spent the past decade reforesting this rare cacao and founded the local growers association. These beans make a fantastic chocolate, combining nutty-sweet and bright, tropical qualities. The texture keeps firm even while gradually melting, very satisfying. You might almost mistake it for a milk chocolate. It's mellow but still interesting, complex without being braggadocios. Try this exceptional bar while you can!

HEINDE & VERRE PRISTINE NATIVO PERU DARK 71%

Pays du producteur : The Netherlands
Cacao : Direct Source
Poids : 70 g

In 2020, a cluster of 80 year-old Gran Nativo Blanco cacao trees was rediscovered in a forest deep in the Yahuanduz area of Peru. That harvest yielded 90% white beans, making this one of the purest Piura Blanco bars in existence. Availability is very limited, with only one micro batch of 1 ton produced per year. The bar tastes as much like cacao fruit purée as it does roasted nibs; its tropical, fruity profile, which lacks any bitterness, makes it seem almost more cacao than chocolate. The mouthfeel is 10/10, providing a firm snap, a satisfyingly slow melt, and a lasting aftertaste. Notes of papaya, edible flowers, gooseberries, and mandarin beckon for quickly repeated, increasingly larger bites. Every element of this chocolate is flawlessly crafted.

ÓBOLO PANGOA PERU 85%

Pays du producteur : Chile
Cacao : Direct Source, Organic
Poids : 80 g

A bar as intricate as it is bold. Remarkably approachable for such high content, it packs big tannins and lots of dark, bitter flavours, yet also has a fruity, tangy side that serves up purple plum, cherry, currants, tamarind, and even hints of oak and whiskey. Where's the armchair? I'm taking this, getting a big glass of red wine, and treating myself to one hell of a decadent end to the evening.
