| Maker Comments | Deep in the famous growing region south of Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela lies Estación Chama. This research center is a germplasm bank dedicated to preserving the rare Porcelana cacao bean. Here as part of a Venezuelan cacao research program, a hybridized Porcelana/Ocumare was created named Criollo Santa Barbara. Luckily a very small amount was released for export making its way to our factory. The cut test reveals a high percentage of ivory coloured beans. The finished chocolate - light coloured, round and delicate, with a lingering, herbaceous finish. Very limited edition. Origin: south of Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela. Tasting notes: coffee, buttermilk, macadamia nut, nectarines, orange blossom, raisins, malt, grass. |
