70% Carenero Superior Chocolate Bar

70% Carenero Superior Chocolate Bar

Barlovento is located in the state of Miranda on the north-central coast of Venezuela, very close to Caracas. This extensive plain has lush vegetation and very fertile lands. These lands were home to cocoa farms during the Spanish colonial era. Carenero cocoa is a hybrid of Criollo and Trinitario from the region, named after the port from which cocoa was exported during colonial times.

Chocolate bar made from cocoa “Carenero Superior”, cultivated in the Barlovento area of Venezuela. The fine cocoa of this region is distinguished by its mix between Criollo and Trinitario. Due to the smooth fermentation process, the characteristics of the Criollo cocoa stand out. This cocoa offers an intense full palate experience characterized by a balance between sweet and sour. It maintains low levels of acidity and astringency, and a complex aroma in which fruity notes (Peach), red fruits and spicy nuts predominate.
