Maker Comments | Guasare was discovered by agronomist Humberto Reyes on a small farm in Sierra de Perija near the Colombian border. The seeds were transported and nurtured at the agriculture research center, Campo Experimental San Juan de Langunillas in the Andes. Here they found, unlike typical Criollo traits the Guasare plants to be surprisingly prolific, disease resistant with blossoms in 2 years, fruit pods in 3. This bar is made from cacao grown on 4 multi-crop farms interspersed with bananas and coffee in the region of Rosario, West of Lake Maracaibo. The seedlings are from the original Humberto Reyes samples, same beautiful complex heritage criollo flavours but much easier to grow, with a higher yield, & huge plump seeds. Guasare is more than a bar it represents hope in a country enveloped in chaos. The future awaits. Tasting notes: cream, malt, cacao, coffee, tamarind, figs. |
