Do you love homemade banana bread? Me too! Did you know that Maxime, co-founder and chocolate maker at Qantu, identifies it as one of the luscious and characteristic notes of this Chuncho 70% Dark Chocolate Bar? It’s true! I dare you to taste this bar and not find the comforting flavor of fresh banana bread!

This delicate dark chocolate bar with a cult following also has nutty, floral and autumn spice notes. Maxime waxes a bit poetic when he sings the Chuncho bar’s praises, calling it "a heartwarming winter bar, perfect to enjoy by a campfire.” (If you're looking for a "summer" bar, try Qantu's Gran Blanco!)

Chuncho means “wild” in Quechua. The cacao beans used to lovingly craft this bar come from a variety of different kinds of pods that grow on giant wild trees in the steep mountains of southern Peru in the La Mar Ayacucho region. These trees are at least 80 years old, and their colorful pods of all shapes, sizes and textures are harvested just once annually, for a period of two to three months. You can see an example of one extremely tiny variety of a Chuncho cacao pod below. It's very cute! 

This bar is truly one of my favorites as it is elegant, multilayered and cozy all at once. Upon tasting this award-winning bar for the first time, my son’s face lit up and he said, “Wow! That tastes like a rainbow!”
