Cacao Connoisseur’s Club Liner Notes

An innocuous unlabeled bar
included in an order for cocoa powder. Tasting.

Raw. Fragrant. Expanding to the roof of my mouth and becoming sweet with hints of rosemary and herbs. Flavor is softening. Deceptive. Finish is bright and astringent, yet delicate.

Pacari produced a limited number of Piura bars from a small batch of newly-discovered cacao. Extraordinary.

Tasting Notes

This is one of the most amazing bars we’ve ever tasted. Incomparable.
