This chocolate is long in the mouth, with vegetal and cocoa flavors and a touch of astringency.The name Carenero was given to this cocoa because of whose port the beans were formerly shipped. Today, it still grows in the vicinity, in the state of Sucre, in the north of the country. These beans are hybrids of Criollo-Trinitario of Barlovento. They are collected by small planters who ferment and dry them individually.

Maker
Chocolaterie A. MorinA Morin Chocolatiers are a 4th generation chocolate maker in Donzère, France. Chocolatiers from father to son since 1994, André Morin founded Chocolaterie A. Morin in 1958 to start making bean to bar chocolate. Since then, they have created artisan chocolate in accordance with chocolate making tradition.They have spent years cultivating relationships with their cocoa producers and farmers to create their line of single origin chocolate bars. They also cultivate over 15,000 acres of fruit and nut orchards to use as raw ingredients such as almonds, hazelnuts and cherries for their pralines, pastes, nougats and jams.
Cacao Strain
CareneroCarenero is both a port city in Venezuela and an especially flavorful cacao strain grown in the surrounding area. The strain is said to be a hybrid of Venezuela’s native criollo and a fruity trinitario, with red-brown pods and honeyed sweetness. This historical cacao has also been called “Caracas cacao,” due to its connection with the city of Barlovento, where the hybrid is said to have originated. Tart fruits and spices characterize the flavors found in chocolates made with true Carenero, also often called Carenero Superior.
this bar has a rich cocoa flavor with slight astringency. I enjoyed it and would buy again
No standout flavor aspect to the profile. No strong acidity. Nice mouth feel- very smooth, but not creamy like a milk chocolate, not hard/dry like some higher percentage chocolates, no grittiness.

Fruity liqueur aroma. Coolness on the tongue. Slightly tannic with a smooth, creamy texture. Tastes of graham cracker and cocoa
