May 2025: Our precious stash has finally run out. We saved a tiny chunk of chocolate because we just can't bare not having any at all. We are actively looking for this very special cacao again.
After 12 yrs learning about this rare cacao (often referred to as the holy grail of cacao) we were able to secure a few bags of these precious beans from the region south of Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela. Estación Experimental Chama, is a germplasm bank dedicated to the preservation of Porcelana, most of its harvest reserved for replanting.
A gentle roast & conch exposes an extraordinary and complex chocolate containing a full scale of delicate tasting notes. Very round with a freakishly long finish. Quiet & mighty,
Origin: south of Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela
Notes: cream, cashews, figs, grass, strawberries, coconut, honey, orange marmalade
