In a fantastic location on the Atlantic coast near Ocumare, the Hacienda Cata cultivates cocoa in mixed culture with other tropical fruits. The small farmers, organised as a cooperative, help each other with the harvest and process the noble cocoa together. The Criollo Ocumare forms the core of the intense flavours that are typical of this single origin cocoa.
With this chocolate, you will be delighted by a rich variety of flavours in which concentrated roasted aromas come to the fore and merge with fresh, fruity components.
Idilio Origins chocolates are made with great care, tradition and innovative technology from the best Criollo cocoa beans from Venezuela. The founders Niklaus Blumer and Pascal Wirth have specialised in single-origin chocolates that, like wine, optimally reflect the characteristics of the fine aromas of single-origin cocoa. Together with the farmers, the cocoa beans are carefully selected, fermented and dried in order to achieve the highest quality. Various factors then play a decisive role in the production of the chocolate in Switzerland: the right percentage of cocoa, the duration and temperature of roasting, the refinement in the rolling mills and the specific type and duration of conching. No additives or flavourings are used.
