Valhrona Venezuela El Pedregal 2012 64% cacao

With a 64% cocoa content, this bar has low bitterness and a gentle profile. There is some nutmeg flavor, but cocoa is the dominant theme. Clean, but short, aftertaste. 7.9

  1. From the label:

    "In Venezuela, the birthplace of the cocoa bean, hides a verritable gem: The Porcelana.
    "This rare Criollo cocoa is appreciated by chocolate experts for its exceptional aromatic strength. Through years of hard work, Valrhona is committed to bringing this cocoa bean back to life by rebuilding the El Pedregal plantation, dedicated to the Porcelana. Its subtle notes of honey and ripe fruit never fail to charm."
