Product detailed description
Giant 85% Quinacho is a single-origin dark chocolate by KAICAO. The Piura Quinacho cocoa beans are grown by the Cooperativa Quinacho in northern Peru, and this cocoa is regarded as one of the finest in the world. The bar is sweetened only with date powder, with no added refined sugar, and the 500 g pack gives you exactly the same recipe as the small 70 g bar, just in a much bigger piece.
With a minimum of 85% cocoa it is unmistakably dark, yet it never tastes one-dimensional. The distributor describes Quinacho cocoa with notes of red wine and roses and a slightly tannic depth, and the dates add just enough sweetness to complement the bitterness rather than cover it. Two awards confirm the recipe works: a gold medal at the International Chocolate Awards 2026 and silver at the World Chocolate Competition 2025. Each 100 g contains 20.3 g of sugars, all of them from the dates.
A half-kilo bar is a format for breaking up, not for a single sitting. It suits the office, a shared table after training, or anyone who eats a square of dark chocolate every day and is tired of buying small bars again and again. If you enjoyed the 70 g Quinacho, 500 g is the logical next step: the same taste, less packaging and better value per gram.

KAICAO: stone-ground ceremonial cacao
KAICAO is the brand of Madrid chocolatier Ida Talmore, who works bean-to-bar: from choosing the beans on a specific plantation to the finished product in one workshop. KAICAO ceremonial cacao is a full-fat cacao powder made from lightly roasted beans that are stone-ground for two days and then aged for two months. The result is earthy with a light floral note, and it is prepared as a thick hot drink rather than the sweet cocoa of childhood.
The beans come from a single Ecuadorian plantation, Hacienda Limón; the MEXICAN variety uses washed Lavado beans from Tabasco in Mexico. Nothing is sweetened with sugar and no emulsifiers or lecithin are added.
At BJP Store you will find
- 100% ceremonial cacao – pure, single-ingredient, 200 g for ten servings.
- MEXICAN – 96% cacao with two kinds of chilli, cinnamon, star anise and cloves in the style of Mesoamerican xocoatl.
- FOCUS and MINDFULNESS – 92% cacao with lion's mane and cordyceps, or with reishi, ashwagandha and spices.
