Ecuador Arriba Nacional Victoria Ceremonial Cocoa

Hacienda Victoria ceremonial cocoa (full-fat cocoa paste, cocoa mass) 100% Arriba Nacional comes from plantations in Cerecita, near the coast of Ecuador. This unique cocoa is characterised by a fresh fruity flavour with notes of flowers, dark chocolate and nuts.

Hacienda Victoria is carbon neutral certified and cares about its positive social impact, providing a stable income for over a hundred families and developing a sustainable working environment for employees and local fauna. The cocoa has a premium grade and a production potential of over 2 tonnes per hectare, contributing to the renaissance of classic Ecuadorian Arriba cocoa.

The beans are roasted at a low temperature (110°C for 55 minutes), which reveals their natural sensory characteristics while preserving their delicate aromas, creating a smooth, well-balanced flavour profile.
