Sirene Lachua, Guatemala 73%

Made with cacao from Lachuá, Guatemala, which offers delicious flavours of maple syrup and cream.

In the lush, mountainous region of Alta Verapaz, Guatemala you'll find the indigenous Q'eqchi Maya farmers who grow this magnificent bean. Their heritage, tracing back thousands of years all the way to chocolate's possible origin in the Ancient Mayan civilization, go into the cultivation of these cacao trees. Clearly they have a bit of experience with cacao trees.

Sirene carefully selects farms growing exceptional cacao beans for its craft chocolate factory in Victoria, Canada, where they are sorted, roasted, winnowed, ground, aged and molded by hand.
