BOLIVIA 38% – 48H
The unique and rare wild cacao, Criollo Amazonico, originates in the Bolivian lowlands in the province of Beni. The gatherers, mostly Chimane Indians, seek out the widely scattered cacao islands, where they collect the ripened fruit from the trees. They then bring the pods to pre-designated collection points using horses or dugout canoes. The beans are then fermented and dried in the sun at these points. The trees are not cultivated, they are left to nature and are not cut or fertilised. Our direct Partners in Bolivia are responsible for quality control, purchasing, drying and transportation of these cacao beans on behalf of Felchlin Switzerland.
Main harvest: December – April
GRAND CRU COUVERTURE MADE OF WILD, NOBLE CACAO FROM THE PROVINCE OF BENI, BOLIVIA
The sensory experience of this unique milk couverture opens with a mild cacao note. The following milk caramel taste is accented through the slightly sweet taste of marzipan. The traditional gentle manufacturing process (48 hours conching) brings out the pleasant malty spruce honey flavour which then finishes on a prolonged slightly spicy vanilla note.
