Domori Cacao Criollo Couverture Chocolate Drops
Fine Criollo Beans
Criollo is the most valuable variety of cacao, and came quite close to becoming extinct: it is a rare and fragile cacao that represents <.01% of the global cocoa production. With the Criollo Project, founded in 1994 thanks to Gianluca Franzoni, Domori has recovered this precious variety of cacao, setting up the Hacienda San José, the largest Criollo plantation in the world, in Venezuela, and transforms it into gourmet couverture blends.
