Chocolate Bars

Piura Vida Bar

January 25, 2025 by Richard Tango-Lowy

A misnomer, since Pura Vida is the Costa Rican way of life and this chocolate is from Peru. Nonetheless, it’s the spirit that matters, and the spirit is pure Tico.

Peru Piura region 70% dark chocolate with mulberries, juniper, and candied tangerine. And lots of spirit from Piura and from Costa Rica.
