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 region

Sucre

Sucre is Venezuela's largest cacao-producing state, responsible for roughly half of national output. Located on the northeast coast with tropical jungles and Caribbean waters, the Río Caribe region produces Trinitario cacao including the distinctive Agua Fría and Agua Santa varieties. These beans are known for fruity and floral flavors, central to Venezuela's fine-flavor reputation.

Sucre

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.

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.

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.

Happy in TN sort of

Ok I rave about everything on this site that I buy but this was my first not five star rating. The complex tannins tasted more acid than I prefer and the mouthfeel reminded me of slightly stale chocolate. That said it's out of the league of grocery store bars by far and if you like 80% or higher this will probably be perfect for you. 72% is my sweet spot and this didn't perform the way other bars in this range from this site did at least for my taste buds. That said i'm comparing it to my all time fav's. I don't really think any bar from this site can disappoint.

Nutty, milky, smooth!

The aroma is fantastically bright but mellow; the mouthfeel is indeed ‘sticky’ but more time for the smooth texture and floral, nutty and milky notes to linger. One of the best bars I’ve had - will definitely try more from Domori.

Domori Guasare Criollo 70%

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

It is rich and smooth, oh so smooth, that you wouldn't believe it's 70%. 😋 This is also made with just 2 ingredients: cocoa beans and sugar. 👌🏼
I picked up on delightful wifts of caramel and toasted almond, which are also some of the first tasting notes as well 👅
After those, you also taste the smoothest espresso and heavy cream, like a cortado made with almond milk and a drizzle of caramel ✨☕
I felt treated to enjoy something so exquisite, it's a must try! Little crushed that i didn't notice the rose, but each palate is unique no?

Worth tasting

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