About The Product
Choclatique's Venezuelan Origin is rich in chocolate aroma with exceptionally complex chocolate notes that are accented by subtle hints of red berry fruit. The cacao beans are sourced and harvested from trees of Criollo and Trinitario heritage in Venezuela's Sur del Lago region. Deep inside Venezuela's tropical forest in the shade of the trees, pink cocoa pods ripen ready for the next harvest in early November. Prior to the discovery of petroleum here and the subsequent oil boom in the thirties and forties, cocoa was Venezuela's number one export. The current government is aware that cocoa could once again be one of the country's main exports. Driving around some of these old cocoa communities, with their colonial-style churches and village squares, there seems to be a new sense of pride and purpose in people's faces. The entire world is talking about Venezuelan chocolate again.
