The northern region of Peru is known for its high percentage of aromatic white beans found in native cacao pods, which brought forward the name ‘Piura Blanco.’ The Piura region is home for many native trees of which the (Gran) Blanco is the most well-known. The terroir of the greater Piura Valley can be described as “dry forest” which receives rain only for a couple of months per year. The cocoa beans are a descendant of the ‘Nacional’ variety, among the rarest in the world and characterized by it’s white colour and delicate flavours.
