About Kuná

Out of nowhere, Kuná won the top prize at El Salon del Cacao y chocolate Ecuatoriano in Guayaquil (Ecuador) in 2012. This earned the company the designation of ‘Ecuador’s best chocolate’. Not only is the taste of the chocolates unique, so is the making process where social commitment and organic standards are paramount.

Founder Luis Manuel Leon was at Evermore in early 2020 to present the chocolate varieties from his homeland. He also brought cocoa beans and we tasted the difference in origin and production within Ecuador. The country has many different climates, and you can taste that in the chocolate bar.

The beans we were allowed to hold were an unripe one (the green one) that became a full-grown orange ‘pod’ about 6 months later. You can make about 2.5 chocolate bars from that, depending on the cocoa percentage. So that means these beans are in demand. Theft is increasingly common.
