The flavors of a megadiverse country
Peru ranks among the world’s countries with the greatest biological diversity and the
fourth as regards diversity of plant species. This is a key piece in understanding not
just the world boom of Peruvian cuisine where chocolate fills a privileged niche, but also
the great potential and quality of Peruvian chocolate. Good flavour, made possible by
a combination of taste and scent, of drinking, bar and other chocolate presentations,
is the result of the combined effect of the diversity of species, soils and climates for
cacao. That is why Peruvian chocolate and more generally Peruvian cacao are gaining
increasing world acceptance.
