| Maker Comments | It took chocolate maker Alan McClure several years to find a cacao of comparable quality to that used in Patric Chocolate's line of Madagascar bars. The answer was finally discovered in the amazing Rio Caribe Superior of Venezuela's Paria Peninsula. For this special cacao, hybrids of Criollo and Forastero trees, introduced long ago from Trinidad, were interbred with unique locally-grown cacao populations. This mélange has resulted in an uncommonly delicious cacao claiming a character of incredible complexity, and at the same time, a distinctively deep and fulfilling chocolate flavor. |
