Qantu Chaska Dark Chocolate 70%, 50g

Qantu is a chocolate maker based in Montreal. Qantu was started by Elfi and Maxime in 2016. This pair fell in love with bean to bar chocolate after researching cocoa after their first plantation visit in 2014. The immense passion and pride of the cocoa producers inspired them to create bean to bar chocolate. Qantu focuses on Peruvian cacao for the moment, which is where Maxime and Elfi met over a decade ago in Elfi’s home country.

The cocoa beans from this bar come from a woman-ran co-op in Pangoa (Junin), Peru. They recently started a leadership school for children to empower the young people and ensure continuity, as the farmers average age is more than 50.
