CACAOSUYO, Lima, Peru
Undoubtedly the most award-winning chocolate maker in Latin America, Cacaosuyo was founded in 2012 by two Peruvian entrepreneurs: Eduardo Lanfranco and Samir Giha.
- Cacaosuyo is based in Peru and uses only fine cacao sourced from Peru in different regions to showcase the variety of flavors that Peruvian cacao has to offer.
- The company produces chocolate from tree to bar, working with small producers to firstly select the trees where the cacao will be grown and harvested. This serves to guarantee the cacao’s traceability and full transparency.
- Next to the classic 70gr bars, Cacaosuyo has recently launched also the mini 25gr bars to accommodate the needs of retailers that wish to carry both options.
- Piura, Chuncho, Lakuna, Cuzco and Rupa Rupa are the names given to the chocolate bars that represent the cacao varieties sourced by the company all over Peru.
- “The best kept secret of the Incas” is the company’s famous motto.
- Cacao is the main protagonist in every Cacaosuyo chocolate bar. This is why the company has few choices for inclusion bars, such as milk, nibs and quinoa. The awardwinning cacao shines through in the entire assortment that includes chocolate bars from 40% to 100% cocoa.
- The packaging of the Cacaosuyo bars was recently renovated into a golden and colorful pattern that catches the attention of consumers while maintaining all its elegance and sobriety.
Cacaosuyo is available from stock: lead-time is 1-3 days.
