Maleku Chocolate Bar 75%

Description

Maleku is a single varietal Cacao believed to be of Mesoamerican origin, containing much of the original genetics preserved by the indigenous Maleku Peoples of the Guatuso Region of north central Costa Rica, for whom Cacao is a sacred plant. Currently, around 600 native peoples live on the reserve there, making this the smallest tribe in Costa Rica. Our Maleku cacao is cultivated by a consortium of native and indigenous growers in this same region. It is an exquisite variety with rich earthy, nutty flavors and a surprising hint of olive.
