Origin & Craftsmanship
Piura Select is one of Cacaosuyo’s most celebrated bars, made with rare Piura cacao from northern Peru — prized for its light, floral, and fruit-forward flavor. This bar is crafted with meticulous bean-to-bar precision, using careful fermentation and gentle roasting to preserve the delicate nuances of the cacao and highlight its unique terroir.

Flavor Profile
At 70% cacao, this bar is both refined and vibrant. Expect bright citrus and tropical fruit notes up front, followed by subtle hints of honey, raisins, and vanilla-like sweetness, all wrapped in a silky cocoa finish. The result is a balanced chocolate that feels bright, expressive, and elegantly layered.

Award & Recognition
In 2025, the Piura Select 70% bar was named “Best Dark Chocolate in the World” at the International Chocolate Awards — a prestigious distinction that underscores its exceptional quality and flavour complexity.

Tasting & Pairing Guide

Let a square melt slowly on your tongue: the initial fruity brightness blooms first, then transitions into gentle sweetness and a mellow cocoa finish. Pair this bar with a light, fruit-forward red wine such as Pinot Noir or Gamay to mirror its fruit notes. For a non-alcoholic option, a floral herbal tea (like hibiscus or rooibos) complements the bar’s vibrant character. Snacks like dried apricots, toasted almonds, or citrus-zested shortbread enhance both texture and flavour interplay.

Summary

The Piura Select 70% bar by Cacaosuyo is an exceptional expression of Peruvian cacao — award-winning, terroir-rich, and beautifully balanced. Its bright fruitiness, nuanced sweetness, and silky finish make it a standout choice for dark-chocolate lovers who appreciate depth and elegance in every bite.
