Direct Sourced

Guasare is a rare variety: considered the mother of all varieties of Criollo, it has been cultivated in the plantation of Domori in Venezuela since 2002. Among the chocolate connoisseurs it is known for its finesse and for its aromatic characteristics: notes of almond, caramel, ancient rose and cream. Devoid of acidity, it has great sweetness and roundness.

Perfect for those who love chocolate to be enjoyed in all its fullness!

Maker

Domori

Domori is a gourmet Italian chocolate maker that focuses on making bars with low production process. They use a low roast profile and medium conch (the stage in which chocolate gets its characteristic taste and mouthfeel from cacao beans) to preserve and maintain the aromas and flavors of the fine cacao beans they feature in their bars. Founded by Gianluca Franzoni in 1997, they are considered one of Europe's finest chocolate makers. Franzoni traveled to Venezuela to help develop a business model to reposition cacao but was ultimately fascinated by cacao itself. He experimented with different varieties to help preserve Venezuela’s biodiversity and even helped prevent the extinction of the Criollo beans. Domori is the first company to use the fine Criollo variety, which is considered the rarest and most prized cacao bean in the world. Their signature 100% Trinitario and unique 70% Criollo strains are an achievement that elevates cacao to a whole new level. The name ‘Domori’ comes from ‘Due Mori’ in Venetian which refers to objects of dark color. Franzoni wanted a name to portray his expressive chocolate company. Venice is considered the land of trades of spices and ideas, and its ‘Due Mori’ representing two bronze statues in the famous Piazza San Marco. Also to Franzoni, the term ‘Due Mori’ is represents two dark beans: cacao and coffee.

Cacao Strain

Guasare

Guasare is a criollo type with unusually tart fruity undertones and high productivity. The cultivar is named after the Guasare River of northern Venezuela, where it’s believed to originate. Its pods are large for a criollo type, while still exhibiting the typical pointed, warty exterior and white seeds. Considering how quickly the trees begin to produce fruits, some believe that the guasare cultivar is a direct descendant of the original cacao tree.

Worth tasting

Creamy and floral with toffee and almond notes. Uniquely sticky texture. Not the most cocoa-forward chocolate, but pleasant and interesting.

Domori Guasare Criollo 70%

Intriguing toffee, nutty-umami flavor profile. Unusual hints of rose too. Ridiculously smooth, though somewhat sticky texture.

Fantastic

This bar is incredibly creamy and rich. The flavor profile is very nutty and slightly earthy. You should try it for the texture alone.
