Indulge in Castronovo Dark Chocolate, a 70% cacao dark chocolate crafted by artisan Denise Castronovo using beans sustainably grown by Awajun women in Peru's Amazon rainforest. Every bar represents a commitment to social responsibility and environmental stewardship.

Denise's partnership with indigenous Awajún and Huambisa communities began in 2019 when she traveled to Peru for the Cacao and Chocolate Salon in Lima. She discovered a cacao cooperative empowering women as primary income earners—a transformative shift in communities where agriculture traditionally fell to women while men hunted and fished. Today, government-backed cacao projects have enabled these women to build schools, health centers, and provide better education for their families while preserving the Amazon rainforest.

By choosing this chocolate, you directly support women-led agricultural initiatives, protect critical ecosystems, and enable sustainable livelihoods for indigenous communities. It's a guilt-free indulgence with purpose.

Tasting notes reveal delicate layers of almond, vanilla, and caramel. Crafted in the USA from cacao beans, organic cane sugar, and organic cacao butter—this hybrid varietal earned a Silver Medal from the Academy of Chocolate in 2023.
