As per Food & Wine, Vigdis Rosenkilde’s 70% Quellouno bar uses just two ingredients: cacao and sugar. The cacao that the Norwegian chocolate maker uses to make these bars is notably collected from a single-family farm located in the Quelloúno district of Cusco, Peru, a region that shares a long history with chocolate.
