About Kakao Chuncho Plant

Kakao Chuncho is one of the world's oldest cacao genetic lines. It grew in Cusco valley before the Spanish arrived and is known for delicate flavor and high flavonoids. The Machiguenga people have protected this kakao chuncho for centuries, maintaining genetic purity and forest wisdom.

 

TIP: Kakao paste = 100% ground beans with all fat. Kakao chuncho powder = some butter pressed out for lighter, easier mixing.
