Origin & Craftsmanship
Lakuna is one of Cacaosuyo’s most expressive bars, crafted in Peru using fine-flavour cacao sourced from carefully selected growing regions and produced with full bean-to-bar control. True to Cacaosuyo’s philosophy, the bar emphasizes precision fermentation and gentle roasting to preserve clarity, balance, and origin character rather than raw intensity.

Flavor Profile
At 70% cacao, Lakuna offers a refined and layered profile. It opens with soft red fruit and citrus brightness, followed by honeyed sweetness and light floral notes, before settling into a smooth, rounded cocoa finish. The chocolate is elegant rather than aggressive, with excellent balance and a clean, lingering aftertaste.

Tasting & Pairing Guide

Allow the chocolate to melt slowly to experience its gradual progression from fruit-forward freshness into mellow cocoa depth. Pair with a Pinot Noir or Beaujolais-style red to mirror its red-fruit notes. For a non-alcoholic option, a jasmine or light oolong tea complements its floral side beautifully. Dried apricots, almonds, or lightly toasted brioche make excellent accompaniments.

Summary

Lakuna 70% by Cacaosuyo is a polished, harmonious dark chocolate that showcases finesse over force. With its bright opening, floral nuance, and smooth cocoa finish, it’s an ideal bar for those who appreciate elegance, balance, and terroir-driven flavour in fine dark chocolate.

Keep in a cool, dry place, away from direct light and strong odors. Store at maximum
18 ° C in its original packaging

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.
