Les fèves de cacao Piura Blanco sont cultivées dans la zone isolée de la vallée désertique de Piura. Les cacaos blancs ne représentent qu'environ 0,1 pour cent de la récolte mondiale. Ces grains uniques sont naturellement plus pâles et présentent un fruité plus prononcé et une acidité plus vive, avec une amertume minimale. Les experts en cacao pensent que Piura Blanco est une mutation « albinos » d’un cacao indigène plus ancien. On estime qu’il ne restait qu’un millier d’arbres de cette variété avant que des efforts ne soient déployés pour la propager et la préserver. Attendez-vous à une barre super satisfaisante avec des notes de saveurs de noisette, de banane et de brownie. Les tanins restent agréables, l'amertume douce et l'acidité moyenne de la barre apporte une touche rafraîchissante de note orange en finale.

Peruvian cocoa beans are often considered the rockstars of the cocoa world, coveted by makers worldwide. Despite this, craft chocolate making in Peru is fairly new and still relatively rare, and Maraná was among the first to produce “made at origin” bars in Peru. Led by the husband and wife team of Zulema and Giuseppe, Maraná takes direct trade to the next level by regularly visiting farms, meeting with growers, and working alongside them to improve yields and quality. What I most love about Maraná, however, is their deep pride in Peru and their commitment to showcasing the country's diverse regions and native cocoa beans. Each bar, whether from Piura, San Martin, or Cusco, highlights the unique characteristics of its geography and beans, offering a truly distinctive tasting experience. Their packaging features Peruvian art forms from these regions, a deliberate choice to further express Peru’s rich culture. Plus it ain’t too shabby that all their bars are crafted with certified 100% organic ingredients.

Piura, situated in northwestern Peru and bordered by Ecuador to the north and the Pacific Ocean to the west, boasts South America's westernmost point and the lowest point in the Southern Tropics. Its unique geography is defined by the convergence of the cold Humboldt Current and warm El Niño Current, resulting in both tropical and arid conditions, exemplified by the Sechura Desert, one of the world’s few tropical deserts. The region features a diverse landscape, including savannah-like scrub, stunning beaches, and small valleys with typical tropical climates, ideal for rice and coconut cultivation. Piura has a rich cultural history, with the Yungas, Vicús, Mochicas, and Incas leaving their mark before the Spanish established Piura as their third city in South America. This rich history has fostered a vibrant mix of mestizo, creole, and indigenous cultures. The name Piura, meaning "abundance" in Quechuan, reflects its fertile lands, while its current nickname, "The city of eternal heat," underscores its consistently hot climate.
