Pichari Alta, Cusco, Peru

We are thrilled to be introducing our second new single origin of 2024 - Pichari Alta, Cusco, Peru 70%.

Between the meandering rivers and forested valleys of Pichari Alta in Cusco, Peru, is the Finca Nueva Esperanza farm. These third-generation cacao farmers produce a harvest so unique, it rarely leaves the area. We are privileged to have crafted a limited portion into an intoxicatingly floral and dangerously moreish chocolate.

We feel incredibly humbled that the Laura Family has given our little chocolate factory permission to transform their beautiful cacao. Get ready to have your senses flooded with notes of sweet mandarin and rose-laden Turkish delight. It is delightful indeed.

While Pichari Alta, Peru dances with an unbridled celebration of juicy candy, fruit and flowers, it’s simply the character of this much sought-after VRAE-99 cacao singing. Plus organic cane sugar and our obsession for respecting provenance and generations of painstaking genetic preservation.

And because your senses are unique, you may discover characters and aromas others may not – that’s the magic of Foundry Chocolate.

This intoxicatingly moreish new chocolate is the result of a multi-year project by David to source a new Peruvian single origin, culminating in a trip to Salon du Chocolat in Peru last year where he met with some inspiring cacao farming families.

While sharing our chocolate with Rosaura Laura and her father Juan, David tasted chocolate they had made from their own cacao. He was blown away with the tasting notes in their cacao, their unique genetic varieties, and how cutting edge their fermentation and drying techniques were.
