Maker Comments | Finally after over a decade learning about this rare & special cacao, we were able to secure a few bags of these precious beans from the region south of Lake Maracaibo in NW Venezuela. Estación Experimental Chama, is a germplasm bank dedicated to the preservation of Porcelana, most of its harvest reserved for replanting. A gentle roast & conch exposes a delicate & extrordinary [sic] chocolate. Subtle, low astringency with a freakishly long finish. Very limited edition. This bar won the distinction of best dark chocolate in the world at the International Chocolate Awards in 2015. |
