Cacao Strain
ChunoChuno happens to be a mixed hybrid, shown to have genetic heritage of roughly one-quarter criollo, one-half amelonado, and one-quarter mixed amongst the other clusters. It also has a relatively small but strong growing region, found growing semi-wild in northern Nicaragua. Chuno is one of just sixteen cacaos to be certified by the Heirloom Cacao Preservation Initiative, an initiative of the Fine Chocolate & Cacao Institute. The HCP identifies ancient & indigenous cacao varietals which hold significant historic, cultural, botanical, geographical, and flavor value for the global industry, which the very fruity chuno cacao does.
