"PALMIRA" CHOCOLATE - VENEZUELA
Seeking always for the best raw materials, we went as far as Venezuela to find the finest cocoa beans: working with the greatest cocoa experts in the world we constantly look for the best lots produced in the North-West of the country, near Lake Maracaibo, where the local Porcelana variety (pure Criollo, unanimously considered the finest of cocoas) is grown for us in the mythical Palmira plantation. This variety offers incredible sensations of strength and persistence, moderate acidity and complex aromas of yellow fruit and honey.
