Grand Cru Couverture made of Wild, Noble Cacao from the Province of Beni, Bolvia

The unique and rare wild cacao, Criollo Amazonico, originates in the Bolivian lowlands in the province of Beni. The gatherers, mostly Chimane Indians, seek out the widely scattered cacao islands, where they collect the ripened fruit from the trees. They then bring the pods to pre-designated collection points using horses or dugout canoes. The beans are then fermented and dried in the sun at these points. The trees are not cultivated, they are left to nature and are not cut or fertilised. Our direct Partners in Bolivia are responsible for quality control, purchasing, drying and transportation of these cacao beans on behalf of Felchlin Switzerland.

Main harvest: December – April

The rich, harmonious cacao flavour is complemented by the aromas expressing the freshness of lemon and the fruitiness of grapefruit.
