Soma - Dark chocolate 70% Ancestral, Venezuela

$22.50
By Soma

Five varieties of cocoa beans: Guasare, Porcelana, Loberta, Nocillero and Tove… legends, ancestral Criollo, some of which are threatened with extinction.

Take a deep breath… a moment to savor the rarity of working with such precious cacao, and what's more, five legends blended together! An exceptional combination. This tiny harvest comes from a single farm. It is part of a project by the Hacienda La Morusca gene bank, whose mission is to evaluate and save the endangered Criollo cacao in the three states bordering Lake Maracaibo: Táchira, Mérida, and Zulia.

Gentle roasting and conching reveal an extraordinary chocolate with subtle  notes. A discreet yet powerful chocolate. Very limited edition.
