Dark chocolate – Coeur de Cacao with an intense cocoa taste and exotic aroma The Coeur de Cacao has a cocoa content of 70%. To give this chocolate a little extra, cocoa nibs are added before it is poured by hand. That is why it is also called “Coeur de Cacao”, the heart of cocoa. Cocoa nibs are crushed cocoa beans, which gives them an intense cocoa flavor because they do not contain sugar or other additives. Eating this exclusive chocolate gives you a little extra chocolaty kick. A Trinitario bean from Santo Domingo is used for this exclusive chocolate. This 70% chocolate develops aromas of exotic fruit, vanilla, milk and honey.    The Trinitario is one of the important basic varieties of cocoa. It originally comes from the island of Trinidad. The variety originated there in the 18th century. Century, after Criollo cocoa was almost completely destroyed by a natural disaster. At that time, the plantations were reforested with Forastero cocoa, which led to hybridization with the remains of the Criollo trees. The resulting Trinitario beans have the resistance of the Forastero, but the excellent, strong cocoa taste and the expressive aroma of the Criollo. Another possibility for the origin of the Trinitario is told in Venezuela. It is assumed that the plants originated there through natural hybridization and were then relocated to Trinidad. Coeur de Cacao – Noble bitter chocolate: A rare delicacy with perfect wine and spirits pairings The coveted Criollo cocoa bean also grows on Santo Domingue. It accounts for only 5% of global cocoa production, although it has a sweet aroma, almost no bitterness and a delicate taste. Due to this minimal production quantity, the beans are in high demand and are snapped up by larger companies, as Saint Domingue's cocoa production can only cover about 1% of the world's cocoa demand.    This excellent chocolate goes particularly well with Muskattrollinger, Samtrot, Merlot, bouquet wines such as Scheurebe and Muscat, and champagne. But you can also drink spirits with it. Gin with its herbal and fruity aromas or whisky, as well as rum and cocoa spirit, are suitable for this.    Try our other chocolates with cocoa from Santo Domingo: Saint Domingue Orange Saint Domingue Vitis Noir In a gift package with the appropriate wine, the excellent chocolate can serve as an excellent souvenir.
