STORY

A "lost" variety of cacao, once thought to have vanished.
Mr. Fortunato’s plantation is located in the Marañón Valley in northern Peru—a remote, sparsely populated area not even found on maps. The "Pure Nacional" variety was believed to have been wiped out by two separate blights in 1930; however, DNA analysis conducted in the United States on a sample from the fourth cacao tree on his plantation revealed it to be 99.9% Pure Nacional.

Bringing out the unique character of a rare cacao.
DNA analysis has revealed that the "Fortunato No. 4" cacao is 99.9% pure Nacional. Having evolved since 1920, its distinct new character has been shaped by the unique terroir—the land and climate—of the Marañón Valley.

With this rare cacao, which carries a story straight out of a fairy tale, *green* has crafted a chocolate with a truly unique and surprising aromatic profile. Each bite invites you to reflect—not only on the flavor of the cacao and its remarkable destiny, but also on the sensory emotions it stirs within you.
