Meybol Cacao

Ailla - 72% dark chocolate made from Chuncho fine flavoured cocoa from Vraem

Ailla means "earth" or "home" in the Inca language. A parrot is depicted on the green packaging.

This chocolate is dedicated to the parrots. Due to deforestation in the growing area, the parrots and other animals have lost their home. Meybol Cacao is planting new cocoa trees and giving the birds new opportunities to live. Unfortunately, the parrots are harming the cacao trees, so Meybol has decided to plant even more cacao trees to give everyone involved: the cacao trees, the cacao farmers and the birds a chance to live in harmony with each other.

The cacao from which the chocolate is made is the Chuncho original cacao. It grows in remote Andean valleys in the Vraem region of southern Peru. The Chuncho cocoa is one of the rarest, most original and finest cocoa varieties in the world. It has a fascinating aroma and flavour profile with low acidity and delicate smoothness.

The dark chocolate has notes of sultanas, plums and hazelnut.

The chocolate is:

•     vegan
•     gluten-free
•     directly traded
•     without child labour
•     lactose-free
•     Tree to bar, i.e. made in Peru from tree to bar.
