Description
A distinctive chocolate inspired by the richness and roasted character of a stout beer. Made with cacao from Bagua in the Amazonas region of northern Peru, and blended with stout beer in collaboration with Avant-Garde Brasserie, a craft brewery local to Qantu.
The flavour profile combines brownie, coffee and roasted malt, with hints of sweet spice, oak and whisky cask. A warming finish brings out further notes of roasted malt and hops.
A rich, full-bodied chocolate for lovers of dark chocolate and craft beer.

Qantu
Raised in Peru, Elfi Maldonado was travelling in her native land when she met Maxime Simard, who was to become her life partner. As their love for one another blossomed, a joint venture simultaneously came to fruition. In 2017 they cofounded Qantu, a bean-to-bar project with a meaningful connection to Peru’s distinct heirloom cacao.
The first three Qantu bars were awarded with two gold medals and one silver medal at the Academy of Chocolate Awards in London in June 2017.
But why the name Qantu? It's the name of the national flower of Peru and Bolivia, a flower which is native to the Peruvian Andes. The word Qantu comes from the native Quechua language and is pronounced 'Kantu'.
