Pangoa
The plantation where our Pangoa-Cocoa grows is located, as the variety name suggests, in San Martin de Pangoa in Peru.
Founded in 1977, it has more than 178 members made up of settlers and locals who cultivate 780 hectares of land.
Their goal is to become a leading competitive export cooperative with ecological and sustainable production, based on the added value of the socio-economic development of its members, who preserve and respect their customs and cultural traditions.
Aromatic profile
Our Pangoa cocoa beans are characterized by a strong flavour with a pronounced chocolate note. While both the acidity and astringency are low, the cocoa impresses with its complex aroma profile. In addition to the strong cocoa note, the nutty aroma of hazelnuts and almonds is particularly noteworthy, as are the fruity notes of red berries. The bitterness is moderate and pleasant, floral nuances are perceptible.
