A generous bar, to share. The Arhuaco cocoa comes from the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta — land of Colombia’s first peoples. The bean yields an elegant richness, a roundness of toasted hazelnut that naturally pairs with amber eaux-de-vie. To be enjoyed after dinner over a lightly peated whisky or a long espresso. Store at 18 °C.

Colombia calls for woody depth. Amber spirits and single-origin coffees prolong the hazelnut note. To be avoided with fine bubbles, which break the roundness.
