Maker Comments | If you stayed awake in chocolate class you would know that "Nacional" is a fine flavor cacao that originated in Ecuador. It is renowned for its pronounced floral character. Recently a genuine strain of Nacional was recovered, growing at a high altitude in a box canyon in the Maranon River valley of Peru. It has some relatively atypical white colored seeds. DNA tests show it to be an identical match to pure Nacional. This bar won us a bronze, silver and gold in the International chocolate awards 2014. |
