Peruvian white chocolate

The local paper here in Piura, Peru (where I am on holiday) is the world leader in producing and quote from my Spanish translation "the most aromatic cocoa in the world and also the whitest.

This is the cocoa that the elite prefer, and that (they) have found in the fields of Piura for fabricating the finest chocolates in the world. Although it may seem a lie, the cocoa that the world wants is white. The normal choice is to think of dark chocolate but current tendancies lean towards bitter white chocolate. Piura is one of the few places in the world where that variety exists. Thursday 27th there is a congress to discuss this harvest and the product limit is the sky".
Do any of you have experience with white chocolate? Tried the Peruvian chocolate? Send us your comments!
