Origin & Craftsmanship
This bar from Cacao Hunters celebrates cacao from Colombia’s Pimienta region — a locale known for its distinctive terroir and rare heirloom genetics. Cacao Hunters works hand-in-hand with local producers to preserve these unique varieties and elevate their expression through careful bean-to-bar techniques. The result is a chocolate that expresses both place and personality with clarity.

Flavor Profile
At 70% cacao, Pimienta delivers a nuanced and layered experience. You’ll first notice vibrant red fruit and berry notes, followed by gentle floral accents and a rounded cocoa base. There’s a hint of spice character reminiscent of the region’s name — subtle, warm, and intriguing — which unfolds toward the finish before settling into rich, lingering cocoa.

Tasting & Pairing Guide

Let a piece melt slowly on your tongue so the fruit-bright top notes rise first, followed by floral nuance and a smooth cocoa underpinning.
Pair this bar with a medium-bodied red wine like Pinot Noir or Grenache to complement its fruit and spice nuances. For a non-alcoholic option, try a fragrant bergamot-infused black tea or a floral oolong to highlight its aromatic layers. To add texture and depth, enjoy alongside dried cherries or toasted almonds — their natural sweetness and crunch beautifully echo the chocolate’s profile.

Summary

The Pimienta 70% bar from Cacao Hunters is a refined, origin-driven dark chocolate that harmonizes fruit, floral complexity, and gentle spice. It’s a standout choice for chocolate lovers who seek layered character and terroir-rich expression in every bite.

Nos chocolatiers s'abstiennent fièrement d'utiliser des stabilisateurs ou des conservateurs artificiels dans leurs produits, ce qui rend leurs créations plus sensibles à la température par rapport aux autres chocolats haut de gamme.

Pour garantir une expérience gustative optimale, il est conseillé de conserver nos chocolats dans un endroit frais et sec où la température oscille entre 16°C et 18°C. Nous vous conseillons de ne pas réfrigérer nos chocolats, car cela pourrait provoquer une cristallisation du sucre due à l'augmentation de l'humidité, altérant ainsi leur texture et leur saveur.

Au contraire, s'il est conservé à des températures trop élevées, le beurre de cacao peut se séparer et former un film blanc à la surface du chocolat. Cette perte de beurre de cacao peut entraîner un dessèchement du chocolat et, par conséquent, une altération potentielle de sa saveur. Vos pratiques de conservation réfléchies contribueront à préserver l'intégrité de nos délicieux chocolats.
