Anquria - 63% La canela amazonica - Ishpingo

Ishpingo, or Mespilodaphne quixos, is a species of tree endemic to the Ecuadorian Amazon. Its bark, known as “Ecuadorian cinnamon”, has a taste similar to that of common cinnamon - produced from the bark of a tree in the same Lauraceae family (to which laurel also belongs). It’s a spice used in Ecuadorian cuisine, and Anquria tries it here with their chocolate.

The result is as original as it is delicious. Ishpingo blends with cocoa in a comforting bar reminiscent of a campfire on a summer’s night.
