Qantu – Crème de la Crème, Milk 45%

About the bar

This 45% milk bar by Qantu was inspired by classic milk chocolate – the beans are subtly fruity, and the chocolate itself is smooth and creamy, reminding us of dulce de leche.

About the maker

When Maxime & Elfi first decided to delve into craft chocolate, they returned to where they first met, in Elfi’s home country of Peru. Starting off in Lima, they visited Salon du Chocolat to begin the process of creating relationships with different producers. They then went on to visit a number of farmers and co-operatives to find their perfect beans.

The beans

This Qantu Morropon uses cacao beans from Morropon, Piura in Peru. Peru is Elfi’s homeland and where she met her life and chocolate partner Maxime. So when the pair decided to start craft chocolate, it was easy to decide where they would start sourcing beans. They paid a visit to Salon du Chocolat in Lima. Here they met a number of different producers and were then able to visit them and see their processes. The co-operative has projects in many areas of Piura dedicated to preserving the different strands of white bean. The cacao beans are harvested from March to June and are then sun-dried. Next is the fermentation, which is a is a little longer; between 4-6 days.
