Ura Chocolates Huanuco Tingo Maria 70% Dark Chocolate Bar

40-gram bar - Lima, Peru

Notes from Maile, ChefShop Chocolate Curator

For me, this bar stands apart from the otherwise fruity bars in the Ura line-up. It's more earthy, maybe a little smoky, with a distinct nuttiness. Texturally it presents a slightly rustic profile, like a little tribute to the history of chocolate.

About the Bar

Sometimes you want a chocolate that's all about chocolate. Ura's Tingo María 70% Dark Chocolate delivers just that, with an intensely chocolatey flavor profile complemented by appealing nutty notes. Made with native cacao from Peru's Huánuco region, it's a reminder that even familiar chocolate flavors can have extraordinary depth.

The cacao is cultivated by the Cooperativa Alto Huallaga in the tropical forests surrounding Tingo María, on the eastern slopes of the Andes. Known locally as the rupa rupa, this lush landscape receives abundant rainfall and supports an incredible diversity of plant and animal life. Towering shade trees create a natural canopy for the cacao growing below.

Ura uses a light roast to bring out the beans' inherent character without overwhelming it. The result is a chocolate that celebrates the rich, nutty, deeply satisfying side of Peruvian cacao. It's an excellent choice for those who appreciate a classic dark chocolate profile but want to discover the nuances of a particular origin.
