Description
In Peru, chuncho means “grown in the wild.” Hence, the name given to the beans used to make this Qantu chocolate. Its farmers live in remote mountain villages with a cold climate and descend to the jungle for the harvest season. Chuncho cacao is plucked only once a year—when ripened to perfection—and in small batches. Since the centuries-old trees are towering and grow on the mountainside, harvesting is a demanding endeavour that requires considerable
physical effort.
