The Rare Gem of Cacao: Criollo

The Rare Gem of Cacao: Criollo

Imagine a world where the finest experiences are reserved for those seeking something extraordinary. Criollo Cacao is that experience—a rare gem in the world of chocolate, making up just 0.01% of all the cacao grown worldwide.

Criollo isn’t just any cacao. It’s the ancient treasure of the Mayas and the Aztecs, a variety so rare and precious that it was once on the brink of extinction. Why? Because it’s delicate, demanding, and yields less than its more common counterparts. But here’s the thing: greatness doesn’t come easy.

The absence of tannins in Criollo Cacao strips away the bitterness and astringency you’d expect from ordinary chocolate. What’s left is a flavour so pure, so smooth, it’s almost otherworldly. Creamy, sweet, and perfectly rounded—this is cacao in its highest form.

In a world where mass production often overshadows quality, Criollo stands as a testament to what happens when we refuse to compromise. It’s not just chocolate; it’s the pursuit of perfection.
