CRIOLLO

TYPES OF COCOA The genetic variability and the conditions of soils and climates result in an explosion of flavors. Recognized as the highest quality cocoa for the preparation of the most exquisite chocolates in the world, there are three types: Criollo, Forastero and Trinitario.

CRIOLLO With aroma and high flavor, it is grown in the South of Lake Maracaibo and the foothills of the Venezuelan Andean mountains. It is considered that it has great quality, it is reserved for the finest and exquisite chocolates. The tree that produces this type of cocoa is very scarce and fragile: it only represents 10% of the world production and has a thin and soft shell. They have a delicate bitterness, acid and fruity flavors, are little astringent and have an aromatic subtlety. Citrus fruit flavors can be detected.
FORASTERO This cocoa has a low flavor and aroma, strong and bitter, slightly acidic, astringent. This is known in the Western and Central Amazon. It is used in many mixtures to give body to chocolate. It has a strong and resistant shell. It represents 70% of world production. It is not classified as "fine cocoa," it has great aromatic potency, but without fineness or diversity of flavors and it is used mixing it as a base with other superior types.
TRINITARIO It is a hybrid between Criollo and Forastero, equally of aroma and high flavor. It is fruity and perfumed, has a wide range of flavors; aromatic and persistent on the palate. Flavors of hay, oak, honey, banana, apple, and melon can be appreciated. In Venezuela, it is grown in Barlovento and the eastern part of the country. It represents 20% of the world production.
OUR COCOA PASTE
Cocoa paste with a unique origin and great aromatic variety is made in Spain where we use our Fine Aroma grains. Using the delicate process of the treatment of the grain to obtain the cocoa paste, a high-quality product is obtained, with refinement less than 30 microns with different nuances, thanks to a delicate characteristic roast. These nuances are preserved thanks to good packaging, resulting in a product with quality assurance UE. The coco paste is fitted without tempering, so the crystallization of cocoa butter results in lighter shades in areas of the product.
