Venezuela Sur del Lago Ceremonial Cocoa
Ceremonial cocoa from the Sur del Lago region (full-fat cocoa paste, cocoa paste) of the Trinitario variety comes from Venezuela - from the famous area below Lake Maracaibo. This unique cacao is characterized by a delicate, fruity flavor with notes of wood and nuts, and its finish is characterized by low acidity and asthenia.
Sur del Lago undergoes low-temperature roasting (115°C for 50 minutes), which fully reveals its natural sensory qualities while retaining its delicate flavors, creating a smooth, well-balanced flavor profile.
