In Piura the tropics and the desert meet. The region is characterized by a variety of climatic variations. To the east of the region, the foothills of the Andes dominate the mountainous appearance of the landscape. There are also tropical and sub-tropical areas.
Description - We are delighted about the exceptional quality of the cocoa beans from Piura. The result of this exceptional raw material is even more pleasing us. The cocoa beans from Piura may be among the best on the world market for cocoa. The Criollo Blanco from Piura not only produces a wonderful aroma spectrum, but also the color of the finished chocolate may be surprising to many consumers.
