Piura Porcelana chocolate is made from Porcelana cacao beans that were, within the last few years, discovered in the Piura River Valley of Peru. This species was thought extinct after rampant diseases attacked those trees in 1916. Even more surprising is that the recently found trees were discovered growing in a hidden Peruvian valley at extremely high elevations (for cacao) between 3500 and 4100 feet. The conditions in this area of Peru have proved to be absolutely perfect for growing this extremely rare type of bean. The bean itself is beautiful and the scent of the bean (when treated properly) follows it through to the bar.
