Fine Dark Chocolate
Cacao Hunters - Tumaco 70%
Ranked in the Top 100 Chocolates in the World.
Origin & Craftsmanship
This bar is part of Cacao Hunters’ esteemed Heirloom Collection, featuring rare cacao from Tumaco, a lush Pacific-coastal region in Colombia known for its distinctive terroir. Cacao Hunters partners directly with local farmers to restore and celebrate native cacao genetics through meticulous bean-to-bar production, honoring tradition while elevating flavour.
Flavor Profile
At 70% cacao, this bar offers a deep, rich chocolate experience layered with dark fruit and berry notes, gentle spice and earth tones, and a subtle hint of smoky sweetness on the finish. The flavour is complex and well-balanced—true to its origin—showcasing both power and elegance without overwhelming bitterness.
Tasting & Pairing Guide
Allow a square to melt slowly, letting the fruity and dark berry top notes emerge first, then deepen into richer cocoa and subtle roasting nuances.
Pair this bar with a medium-bodied red wine like Pinot Noir or a smooth Cabernet Franc to echo its red fruit and cocoa depth. For a non-alcoholic option, try a floral oolong tea or a rich, lightly roasted coffee to highlight its layered character. Textural pairings like toasted pecans or dried cherries add an enjoyable contrast that enhances each flavour note.
Summary
The Tumaco 70% bar from Cacao Hunters is a beautifully expressive dark chocolate that celebrates Colombia’s Pacific terroir. With balanced fruit, spice, and cocoa depth, it’s crafted for those who appreciate complexity and origin-driven flavour in every square.
We ship award-winning craft chocolate from our warehouse in Saint John, New Brunswick to more than fifty countries. Rates, transit times and free-shipping thresholds for every destination are below.
How We Protect Chocolate in Transit
Fine chocolate is temperature-sensitive by nature. We pack according to the forecast along the actual route, not the season on the calendar.
25–30°C (77–86°F) — insulated packaging
30–35°C (86–95°F) — double insulation with an ice pack
35–40°C (95–104°F) — double insulation with ice packs
Above 40°C (104°F) — the shipment may be held until conditions improve
We ship Monday to Thursday so nothing sits in a weekend warehouse, and a business delivery address gives chocolate a better chance than a doorstep in August. These measures reduce risk substantially. They do not eliminate it — in sustained heat, softening can still occur in transit.
Estimated Delivery Times
Every timeframe shown in the table, at checkout, or in a shipping confirmation is an estimate. Actual transit varies with destination, customs clearance and carrier operations, and peak periods and public holidays in either country affect it further. We dispatch promptly, but once a parcel is with the carrier we have little control over its progress, and we can't guarantee a delivery date.
Customs and Duties
Duties, import taxes and local handling fees are set by the destination country and are the responsibility of the recipient. They are not included in our shipping charge. Where a destination has a specific requirement, it's noted alongside that destination's rate.
If a carrier asks you for information to complete clearance, respond promptly. Parcels held for unanswered customs queries are usually returned or destroyed, and we can't recover them.
Orders With Pre-Order Items
An order that mixes in-stock and pre-order items ships complete, once every item has arrived. This avoids a second shipping charge. The expected date for a pre-order item appears on its product page and in your order confirmation, and you'll be emailed when the full order ships.
If you want the in-stock items sooner, place two separate orders. Pre-order items can't be expedited.
Damage, Melting and Delays
We don't refund or replace orders for melting, carrier delays, or customs-related outcomes. Our pricing reflects the protective packaging included in every order rather than a margin held back to cover weather.
If something arrives genuinely damaged, write to us within seven days with photographs of the parcel and its contents and we'll look at it.
Delivery to Specific Countries
For country-specific details on customs, transit and local requirements, see our pages for chocolate delivery to Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Singapore.

Our chocolate makers proudly refrain from using any artificial stabilizers or preservatives in their products, making their creations more temperature-sensitive compared to other premium chocolates.
To ensure the optimal taste experience, it's advisable to store our chocolates in a cool, dry place where the temperature hovers between 16°C and 18°C. Please refrain from refrigerating our chocolates, as this may cause sugar crystallization due to increased humidity, altering their texture and flavor.
On the contrary, if stored in excessively high temperatures, cocoa butter may separate and form a white film on the chocolate's surface. This loss of cocoa butter can lead to the chocolate drying out and, consequently, a potential alteration in flavor. Your mindful storage practices will help preserve the integrity of our delectable chocolates.
