Only 2 bags. Five different cacao beans, Guasare, Porcelana, Loberta, Nocillero, and Tove… all legends, all ancestral Criollo, some on the brink of extinction. Deep breath... a moment to take in how rare it is to work with cacao this precious, let alone 5 legends, mixed (!) ... a super blend. This tiny harvest was grown on a single farm. Part of a project at the germplasm bank of Hacienda La Morusca with a mission: to evaluate and rescue Criollo cacao in danger of extinction from the 3 states hugging Lake Maracaibo: Táchira, Mérida, and Zulia. A gentle roast & conch reveals an extraordinary chocolate containing a full scale of delicate tasting notes. Quiet & mighty. Very limited edition.

Maker

Soma

Soma was founded by David Castellan and Cynthia Leung in 2003. A rarity in the industry, Soma are adept at both chocolate making, and also a fantastic chocolatier. At the time, ‘bean to bar’ chocolate wasn’t necessarily even a term! Anybody who knew how to make chocolate were those who worked for big chocolate companies. Soma was one of the first to tackle the micro batch chocolate bar production. Besides their wonderful line of chocolate bars, Soma also uses their chocolate to make ganache for truffles, and other chocolate treats. Soma's high quality chocolate bars have been awarded multiple times over the years. First starting off in a 400 square foot tiny corner of an old whiskey distillery, Soma now has two chocolate factories in Toronto, Canada.

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.
