The Vigdis Rosenkilde 70% Santa Ana is an award-winning dark chocolate crafted with just two ingredients: rare Chuncho cacao and sugar. Made by renowned Norwegian chocolate maker Vigdis Rosenkilde, this bar is a pure reflection of its origin. The Chuncho cacao thrives along the Urubamba River in the lush, mist-shrouded mountains of the Cusco region in Peru, cultivated carefully by the Cooperativa Alto Urubamba.

Complex, Natural Flavor Profile

At 70% cacao, the Santa Ana bar delivers an elegant and multi-layered tasting experience devoid of harsh bitterness. Because of the genetic diversity of the mature Chuncho trees and Vigdis’s meticulous fermentation and slow-conching process, the bar yields incredible natural flavors. Without any added flavorings, you will discover distinct, organic tasting notes of blackberry, pineapple, and walnut, complemented by a bright, floral finish.

Ethical Craftsmanship

Vigdis Rosenkilde champions a transparent, direct-trade model, spending months on the ground in Peru each year. Uniquely, the entire chocolate-making process takes place in Peru, rather than shipping raw beans to Europe. This approach ensures maximum freshness, significantly boosts the local economy, and minimizes the carbon footprint. This dedication to craft and ethics earned the Santa Ana bar a Silver Medal at the 2023 International Chocolate Awards (World and European).
