Gift set: “For Fine Chocolate Lovers”

Discover pure Chuncho chocolate—crafted to showcase cacao’s aroma at its absolute best. This rare, heirloom cacao from Peru’s Cusco region offers an intense, multi-layered flavor profile with spicy notes reminiscent of the holidays.

Connoisseurs will delight in familiar flavors: it opens with the rich aroma of speculoos and gingerbread, balanced by bright, fruity notes like plum preserves and dried cranberries. On the palate, you’ll find hints of pretzel and cookies wrapped in cream, leading into the bold core of spice—cardamom, cloves, anise, and cinnamon.

This cacao of kings features subtle herbal notes that add nuance, and it finishes with layers of ripe plum, tart cherries, and the fresh tang of kefir, all culminating in a pleasantly bitter, gently spicy, and woodsy aftertaste.

Chuncho from the El Quinacho Cooperative—a rare heirloom cacao variety from Peru. Chuncho grows only in the Cusco region, thriving at unique altitudes from 1,312 to 4,265 feet. This fine-flavor cacao is remarkably mild with a complex, fruity aroma. Savor this single-origin, high-percentage chocolate: it’s unexpectedly smooth and inviting, even at 82% cacao.

A sweet, dark single-origin chocolate created with cacao from Zorzal in the Dominican Republic. Our connection to Zorzal is the belief that great things can come from chocolate. Zorzal is the first private bird sanctuary in the Dominican Republic. The nature reserve extends over 412 hectares of land, and 70% of that has been designated to remain wild rainforest. The cacao is grown and harvested directly within this nature reserve. And Zorzal also cooperates with neighboring farmers who are actively included in the project and supply their own cacao. As a result, cacao is an ideal conservation tool: it thrives as a mixed crop and is traditionally well suited to wild harvesting. Enjoy this first-rate Caribbean island cacao which we turn into delicious dark chocolate with a 62% cacao content. A sweet treat that protects Mother Nature.

Cocoa from Madagascar is extremely in demand. There is only one place in the country where cocoa is grown – the legendary Sambirano valley. We have visited the cocoa farmers there and shot some footage of them. At our chocolate theatre, you can now put on a pair of VR goggles and dive into the cocoa jungle of Madagascar.

Conching time: 20 hours.

This year’s vintage cuvée brings together five high-altitude cacao varieties, led by the renowned Chuncho heirloom cacao and complemented by distinctive beans from Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala, and Uganda. The resulting flavor profile is remarkably smooth and balanced, with bright notes of red berries, roasted pecans, and layers of cacao and delicate florals. The experience begins with a creamy, almond-like chocolate taste, unfolding into a mild marzipan and spice character. Subtle hints of fresh grass and herbs appear, underscored by gentle ginger, which enhances the chocolate’s roasted depth and complexity. Each bite finishes with lush Morello cherries, enlivened by tangy kombucha and yogurt notes, and ends on a mellow malty roast with a lingering chocolatey aftertaste and very little bitterness.

A summit of mountain-grown cacao: Most cacao is cultivated in the lowlands, but this exceptional cuvée features beans selected from the highland regions of Ecuador, Colombia, Guatemala, Peru, and Uganda. The result is a bold, exquisitely dark chocolate with 77% cacao, shaped by five origins, unique altitudes, and an alluringly fruity, berry-forward aroma.
