Luisa Abram is known for venturing into the Brazilian Amazon in search of the region's many native cacao varietals, and then turning those cacaos into amazing single-region chocolates. This 70% dark chocolate bar was crafted from wild cocoa from the Rio Acará region of the Brazilian Amazon. It has distinct notes of Brazil nut, caramel, and pineapple, all naturally occurring within the cacao beans themselves. The bar has a more solid texture relative to other chocolates, as the cacao from Rio Acará has a lower fat content than most other regions' harvests.

About the cacao: in the Baixo Amazonas Hydrographic Basin, cocoa purchased from several families on the banks of the Acará and Arauaia Rivers is fermented by women from two of these families. This cocoa belongs to the family of amelonados, and has high genetic purity.

Cacao region

Para

Pará is a large state in northern Brazil, traversed by the lower Amazon River and bordered by Guyana and Suriname. Much of the state relies upon agriculture; in recent years it’s become the country’s number one producer of cacao, cassava, açaí berry, and pineapple. Another large industry is mining for metals and lumbering, aka destroying the Amazon Rainforest, some of which covers most of Pará.

Cacao strain

Amelonado

Amelonado is one of those ten evolutionarily unique types identified in 2008 using samples collected throughout the Americas over the previous century. This particular cluster type represents a traditional cultivar believed to have been domesticated from the Brazilian Amazon, possibly near what is now called the Para River. It’s now one of the most common cacao cultivars in the world, and often held up as the typical example of a forastero cacao: deeply chocolaty & bitter, with strong earthy undertones and a large, round pod. Most of the cacao brought to Africa in the 18th and 19th centuries originally came from this cultivar type, leading to the Ghanaian varietal now known as the West African Amelonado.
