75% Vinces Rio Arriba

Extra Dark Chocolate Bar
75% min. cacao

The “Uncommon” collection is produced with cacao beans from special micro-lots, each selected from a Single Origin cacao with a unique sensory profile, as it is created with cocoa butter prepared from the beans of the same micro-lot.
These are rare cacao seeds like the Rio Arriba from the Vinces region in Ecuador. This area is considered the cradle of Ecuadorian Nacional cacao genetics, renowned for centuries for its exceptional quality and rich organoleptic properties. The name Rio Arriba was given by Europeans who, upon arriving at the port of Guayaquil, would ask the locals where to find the prized cacao seeds, and the answer was always: “arriba… río arriba,” meaning “up the river.”
