This particularly fine Trinitario cocoa bean comes from the north-eastern part of Venezuela. Urrutia in Barlovento produces particularly delicate Carenero Superior cocoa, a Trinitario variety whose name goes back to the former export harbour of Carenero. Superior is a historical quality classification. The selection from the Hacienda harvest is based on the optimum fermentation and drying of the cocoa beans and the varietal purity of the Trinitario fruit.
Fresh, exotic fruits dominate the flavour of this chocolate, while subtle aromatic notes with a hint of vanilla round off the finish.
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.
