From Fiamma’s Rare Collection - a collector’s bar of legendary status.
Amedei Blanco de Criollo 70% Dark Chocolate
Type: Dark Chocolate
Cacao Percentage: 70%
Tasting Summary: honey · dried plum · jam · and quietly extraordinary
Tasting Notes: meet Amedei's fourth Golden Bean - a bar built around one of Peru's rarest, and most prized cacaos.
The Piura Gran Blanco is a rare Criollo variety from the remote northern plantations of Peru, and it produces chocolate that is rich and delicate at the same time.
Expect notes of almond and honey, a lingering dried plum sweetness, and a melt that is smooth, balanced, and quietly unforgettable.
Only 20,000 bars are made each year. Each one is hand numbered.
Bean Origin: Peru – Piura Gran Blanco (Criollo)
Made in: Tuscany, Italy
Bar Size: 50 g
Story: Cecilia Tessieri, founder of Amedei, travelled to the remote plantations of northern Peru to source this cacao herself. The Piura Gran Blanco beans are fermented for seven days in tiered wooden boxes, then sun dried slowly in solar tunnels for up to twelve days - a level of care that is more craft than commerce. It earned Amedei their fourth Golden Bean from the Academy of Chocolate, and it's clear why. The recipe is minimal by design: letting the bean do the talking.
Fiamma Tip: Let it melt slowly. This one rewards patience. If you want a pairing, try a fine Pisco Sour to echo the Peruvian origin, or keep it simple with a small glass of aged rum.
TIMING: We don't believe anyone should wait too long for chocolate and aim to have your chocolate packaged and shipped within 1-2 business days. The sooner the better as far as we're concerned :)
SHIPPING TIMES: Standard shipping typically takes between 2-7 days. Exact time will depend on the courier, and whilst we can't guarantee any exact time as it's out of our hands, experience tells us it's more likely to be 2-3 days in most cases.
THE SNAILIEST SNAIL MAIL: As a heads up, sending to a PO Box, parcel locker or similar, will often be slower as we can't use courier services and have to rely on Australia Post, who can be pretty slow at times.
EXPRESS POST: If you need your chocolate urgently, because sometimes that's a thing in life, please select Express Post at checkout, or get in touch to check how we can help.
HOT WEATHER POLICY: Please note, if the temperature is soaring we may withhold sending your chocolate for a day or two to ensure it doesn't arrive a melted mess. We'll keep you posted if that's a case, but please refer to our hot weather policy, or get in touch with any questions.
FREE SHIPPING! We're like you and we love free shipping - although full transparency, we deal in good chocolate as a passion more than profit (yep, the margins are pretty low) and as much as we'd love to offer free shipping on every order it's just not possible. But we love people who love good chocolate, so keep an eye out onsite for our free shipping rates, and gift boxes that include free shipping. Happy days!
