This bar, made from wild foraged cocoa, channels the rich complexity of an imperial porter, delivering an extraordinary depth of flavour with each bite. Notes of coffee, roast, and malt dominate the profile, with subtle hints of hops and wayward yeasty esters adding a wild, unexpected twist. Bruised plum and star anise bring an intriguing depth, while the bar’s deep, decadent base is drenched in the rich, comforting flavours of brownie batter. A touch of turbinado sugar or even rum lingers, rounding out the finish So rich, so multifaceted, so good.

Imagine trekking deep into the world’s largest rainforest, battling the heat and humidity and inherent dangers, with no modern technology or animal companions, in search of ancient cocoa trees. Pretty cool, huh? That's reason #1 why I love Luisa Abram's chocolate. The second reason? The incredible, unique flavours that come from these ultra-rare beans. Some of these beans haven’t been tasted for centuries, ever since they were first planted by Jesuit missionaries. It's like taking a taste of history. And it's not just about the chocolate; it's about respecting tradition, preserving biodiversity, and working closely indigenous communities. Plus, it's a family thing – Luisa, her parents and sister, and the over 850 families they partner with.

The Purus River originates in Peru's Ucayali region but flows predominantly through the Brazilian states of Acre and Amazonas. Spanning over 3000 kilometres, it traverses various protected biosphere reserves and parks, underscoring its ecological significance in the Amazon region. Renowned for its meandering path, the Purus River's actual length is more than double its straight-line distance from source to mouth. The forests along its banks are primarily harvested for rubber production and almost all the cacao in the region originates from wild-growing native varieties and are foraged by local indigenous communities.
