Maker Comments | West of Caracas, Venezuela, there is a mythical village. Accessible only by boat, the village of Chuao is bordered North by dense tropical forest, in the South by the Caribbean Sea. For generations the cocoa grown in this region has been celebrated for its exceptional qualities. A unique terroir, an ancestral know-how, a traditional drying method makes this Criollo cocoa the most wanted worldwide. The tiny production makes this a rare product that we are proud to present to you. This chocolate is long on the palate with a fine balance of bitter and acidity with earthy tones. |
Comments | More bitter than other Chuaos. |
