Even before being sold, 80% Criollo Blend by Domori won one of the most prestigious awards in the chocolate world: the gold medal in the dark 80% category of the Academy of Chocolate 2016 Awards.

Criollo is a rare and fragile variety of cocoa and represents only 0.001% of the cocoa produced in the world. The quality of this cocoa has no equal being free of tannins, which give the product harshness and astringency. In fact, Criollo boasts a unique creaminess, roundness, and sweetness.

Domori has recovered this precious variety of cocoa that risked extinction, giving rise to the largest plantation in the world in Venezuela. From this plantation, they receive the raw material they transform every day through the shortest and purest recipe in the world.

This chocolate, produced with 80% cocoa paste of Criollo variety, is characterized by an extraordinary roundness. On the palate it offers notes of dried figs, dates and raisins: the result is a unique bar, with excellent sweetness and roundness.

Maker

Domori

Domori was founded in 1997 by Gianluca Franzoni with a focus on preserving the natural flavor of fine cacao through gentle roasting and careful processing. They were the first to work extensively with the Criollo variety, considered one of the rarest cacao types. Domori's approach brings out the inherent character of each bean, making their bars a refined choice for dark chocolate enthusiasts and a polished gift for anyone who appreciates Italian craftsmanship.

Cacao Region

Sucre, Venezuela

Sucre is a relatively small province on the Venezuelan coast, best known for its beautiful beaches and the popular Mochima National Park. The economy of the state is based on fishing, with Sucre currently poised as the main producer of fish in the country. Somewhat inland you’ll find a small number of plantations dedicated to the commercial production of crops for export, including cacao.

Cacao Estate

Hacienda San José

Hacienda San José, owned & operated by the Franceschi family, is a 170-hectare estate on the Venezuelan coast. The farm is located on the Paria peninsula, in the northeastern part of the country, famous for being the first land in the Americas to be explored by Christopher Columbus on his third trip to the continent, in 1498. Over the years, the estate has become an important center for the recovery of genetic diversity in Venezuela’s native criollo cacao strains, including those from other parts of the country. Divided into 16 distinct parcels, the estate’s many criollo cacao strains are all carefully shaded by banana trees, which later often serve a second purpose during the fermentation process.
