International Chocolate Awards - Silver

2023

​Vigdis Rosenkilde – Echarate 80% is a premium dark chocolate crafted from rare Chuncho cacao beans sourced from the Echarate region in Peru. This chocolate offers a complex flavor profile with natural notes of floral, fruity, and rich tones, which emerge organically from the meticulously processed cacao.


Made with just two ingredients—cacao and sugar—it reflects a pure, unadulterated expression of origin and terroir. The careful fermentation, drying, and slow conching process ensure a smooth texture and vibrant aroma that lingers on the palate. Thoughtfully wrapped in textured recycled paper, the packaging evokes the story of its journey from the Peruvian rainforest to the finished bar, embodying the brand’s commitment to sustainability and transparency.
