• Dark chocolate with 75% of cacao - Kemito, 1.76 oz (50 g)

Most of the Peruvian territory stands out for its Jungle area—part of the Amazon rainforest. This magical land is surrounded by incredible nature, in which the Ashaninkas live, a Peruvian ethnic group the means “person” or “peasants.” Its existence is pre-Inca, nevertheless, during the Inca empire, they had a cultural and commercial exchange between the Ashaninka community, dominated by the Arawak language, and the Andean community. They are known for their values like union and respect, also, for their ancestor’s customs. Hunting, fishing, and agriculture were meaningful activities for its economy. Nowadays, a lot of Ashaninkas families cultivate coffee, cacao and, achiote for a living. One of their most important principles is respect to nature and people. They don’t believe in violence, but education is considered essential to progress. Moreover, they strongly believe in shamans known as “sheripiari” who can communicate with the forest, mountains, lakes, and rivers. Kemito is the name of this chocolate that means “cacao” in the Arawak language. The Ashaninka community created an association in 2010 called "Kemito ENE and Care" where they drive different activities and projects that allow spreading the production of cacao in communities that surround the Ene river. It is imperative to mention that this community located in the Junin region has cultivated cacao for about 100 years, yet still, the production was rudimentary, and it wasn't oriented to a specific market. This chocolate bar has cacao from the Ashaninkas cultivation which has fruity and nuts notes with a sweet taste. 

• Dark chocolate with 80% of cacao - Paru, 1.76 oz (50 g)

The Matsigenka is a Peruvian ethnic group that cultivates cacao chuncho—a variety of cacao use in this chocolate bar—in La Convencion located in the region of Cusco.  The name of this community means “human beings” or “people” in their language (Arawak). According to historical evidence, the appearance of this community backs to the pre-hispanic times where activities like fishing predominated. During the last decades, different activities emerged such as coffee, cacao, and achiote cultivation for commercialization. Among the beliefs of the Matsigenkas, they strongly believe in the existence of five worlds connected with each other: kipatsi, menkoripatsa, inkite, kamavira y gamaaironi. Likewise, they are known for their beliefs in mythology where the moon (a male) is who creates agriculture, tobacco, and venom for fish. Like many Peruvian communities, traditional medicine has been part of them through the years using medical herbs and trusting shamans. Paru is the name of this chocolate bar which means “golden, roasted by the sun or fire”. In this chocolate bar, you might find fruity, herbal, floral, and dried fruit notes. Also, this chocolate does not have cacao butter added and it is not astringent so it can easily melt in our mouth.
