For over 110 years, La Ibérica has blended fine European techniques with the renowned Chuncho cacao from La Convención valley in Quillabamba - Cusco, creating chocolates celebrated by chefs and sommeliers worldwide. Our dedication to quality and flavor has earned us accolades from the International Test Institute of Brussels, solidifying our status as a purveyor of one of the world's finest chocolates.

Our Chocolate Philosophy

We embody the 'Tree to Bar' ethos, meticulously overseeing every step from cacao harvest to chocolate creation. Our commitment to quality means using the finest cacao, ensuring pure chocolate bliss without substituting cacao butter.
