Top quality chocolate.

“In her book Chocolate Unwrapped, Sarah Jane Evans, one of the UK's leading food writers and a founding member of the Academy of Chocolate, says that the characteristic of Ecuador's fine cocoa is "a floral profile with blackcurrants and spice."
Chocolate tasters say the aroma of Ecuador's cacao is more complex because Arriba beans vary hugely in taste and size according to the area in which they are grown. "Each bean has a special, different flavour," says Santiago Peralta, founder of Pacari, a successful Ecuadorean brand of fine organic chocolate. Mr Peralta says the quality of Ecuador's chocolate is due to the country's diversity in terrain and equatorial location on the equator. While Ecuadorean chocolate is known for its floral characteristics, some beans taste more like fruits, while others have a nutty flavour. "We tailor-make our chocolate according to the cocoa beans we receive," Mr Peralta says, adding that he tastes every new batch of beans that arrives.  Mr Peralta's dedication is one of the reasons Pacari has become the success story of Ecuador's cocoa boom. "We wanted to have the best quality - it was the only chance we had to make it," he explains. "After 250 years exporting cocoa, nobody knew how to make chocolate in this country."
