The Venezuelan story
Forest
Rio Caribe Superior cacao grows in
agroforestry, in which cacao trees are intercropped with other crops. This agricultural
system promotes biodiversity and forms a buffer zone protecting remaining
forests and the national park, Península de Paria Growing cacao helps to protect
the natural environment while giving farmers an opportunity to earn an income.
Venezuela Rio Caribe Superior is from Trinitario and Criollo varieties. The beans are low
in acidity, and have an intense and strong chocolaty body with sweet, nutty and floral
hints. Consistent application of protocols during harvest and postharvest results in an
outstanding quality, labelled as ‘superior’. After manual picking, the farmers bring the
wet beans to a central fermentation unit, where they are fermented for 6 or 7 days in
wooden boxes, with controlled turning based on temperature.
